Deck collapses with hot tub in Redcliff
REDCLIFF
- Eagle River Fire Protection District responded to 258 Monument
Street in Redcliff Saturday afternoon after a deck containing a hot
tub collapsed. No one was injured.
Firefighters found that a two-level residential deck had collapsed
with a six-person hot tub. The hot tub and decks had fallen
approximately 30 feet down a creek side hill. A natural gas line
feeding a barbecue was also sheared away from the exterior of the
residence in the collapse and was leaking gas. Firefighters were
forced to shut-off the main gas line to the entire duplex.
It was discovered that both decks had approximately 10-12 inches of
ice and snow accumulation.
Firefighters were informed that there was no one home and the
occupants were out of town until the end of the month.
