Later, they received armloads of Christmas presents from firefighters who carried them out of the still-smoldering building.
âObviously, (this is) not a good situation on any day, but especially on Christmas,â said Assistant Fire Marshal Derek Paulson, of the Dubuque Fire Department.
The structure fire began shortly after 5 p.m. today at 2739 Balboa Drive.
More than 10 people evacuated the single-family residence, and none were injured. The occupants declined to comment.
