EVELETH â An Eveleth home was extensively damaged Friday after a large fire broke out in that attic, according to Friends of the Northland FireWireâs Facebook page.
The blaze was reported around 6 p.m. in the 800 block of Pierce Street and arriving fire crews found heavy smoke and flames coming from the roof and attic area.
Firefighters started with an interior attack, but pulled out when the roof began to collapse around the chimney area, nlfirewire.com said. An extensive exterior attack was then instituted, with the squirt aerial from the Gilbert Fire Department utilized to work the roof area, along with hand lines on other areas of the exterior.
