ANCHORAGE, Alaska - No injuries were reported Thursday in a large duplex fire in an Abbott Loop neighborhood in which emergency crews discovered a “extreme hoarding” situation.
Flames were seen rising from the home on Medellin Circle around 11 a.m. Thursday. Anchorage Fire Department Capt. Jake Crockett said the initial report came in around 10:30 a.m. Crockett told Alaska’s News Source at the scene that crews did not find anyone inside, but also said they discovered what he called “extreme hoarding conditions.
” “The first and second floor both had waist-deep — if not higher — trash stacked up in the building," Crockett said, adding that there was about four and a half feet of trash found in the home.
“There was no sign of animals being inside, but it’s hard to tell with the amount of trash that was stacked up inside the building,” he said. In all, 13 units responded, he said.
