FIRST REPORT
Crews are responding to a report of an engulfed house in Huber Heights.
The fire was reported shortly after 11 p.m. in the 8000 block of Betal Court.
That neighborhood is not believed to have fire hydrants, so Huber Heights emergency dispatchers requested additional tanker trucks from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Bethel Twp. in Miami County to provide extra water.
