IRON MOUNTAIN, MI— An Iron Mountain house was severely damaged by fire Friday night.
Firefighters were dispatched around 9:15 p.m. to 607 Kent Street and found flames coming from the windows at the front of the home. They pulled a hose through the front door to attack the fire and search for victims.
While attempting to suppress the fire, the crew found a portion of the floor had burned through. They had to exit the building and relocate the hoses.
The fire was under control by 10:45 p.m. and firefighters continued to extinguish hot spots.
No one was at home at the time of the fire, but an elderly woman from a neighboring home was evaluated for smoke inhalation.
The home is uninhabitable because of heavy fire and smoke damage.
The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
