Gulfport Structure Fire: What We Know So Far

A structure fire was reported at 3909 Central Av-Sp in Gulfport late Wednesday, and this is what we know so far.

No additional web coverage was available in the first minutes after the dispatch, so no injuries, cause or damage estimate have been confirmed publicly yet.

Emergency units E3 and E17 were dispatched to the scene, according to dispatch records. That level of response suggests firefighters were sent quickly to assess the building, locate the fire and try to prevent it from spreading to nearby structures.

Dispatch records show there have been 20,194 similar structure-fire incidents in the area over the past six months, indicating this type of call is not uncommon for local responders.

Officials have not yet released an update on whether anyone was hurt or whether the fire is under control. In a developing incident like this, agencies typically issue follow-up information after crews complete their initial size-up and any immediate danger has been addressed.

What happens next will likely depend on whether firefighters determine the blaze was accidental or suspicious, and whether investigators are called to the scene after the fire is extinguished.

Day.News will continue to update this story as officials release more information.
