Late Night House Fire Badly Damages Sioux Falls Home
A house on South 7th Avenue in Sioux Falls sustained heavy fire damage Tuesday night, according to the Sioux Falls Fire Department.
Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue were dispatched around 10:15 pm Tuesday after a report of a house on fire on the 1900 block of South 7th Avenue. Early reports stated that flames were coming from the roof of the home, but that the occupant had made it out of the residence unharmed by the blaze.
The first crew to arrive on the scene discovered the front of the structure under heavy fire conditions at that time. They immediately went to work in neutralizing the fire and in about a half-hour they had the blaze under control, according to Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief, David Jensen.
