At about 9:35 a.m., the Escanaba Department of Public Safety was sent to 517 S. 8th Street and found flames coming from the home. Fire Engine 34, Ladder 35, and the Rescue Truck all responded.
The fire was successfully contained and extinguished. Everyone in the home got out before crews arrived. No injuries were reported.
Firefighters had to return to the site around 8:30 p.m. after the structure relit. Crews found the roof fully engulfed.
ESPD extinguished the fire and stayed at the site for another four hours.
