Fire makes Iron Mountain home uninhabitable

IRON MOUNTAIN, MI--   Fire heavily damaged an Iron Mountain house Tuesday afternoon.

All residents were out of the house when firefighters arrived. A dog was rescued from the basement and successfully revived by firefighters and medical personnel.

The fire caused an estimated $8,000 to $12,000 in damage. The cause remains under investigation.
