Lakeside Structure Fire

Duluth Fire Department responds to large structure fire

The Duluth Fire Department responded to the report of a structure fire at 810 Rockview Court. When crews arrived, the attached garage was fully engulfed with flames, as well as a vehicle in front of the garage.

The initial crew that arrived pulled hose lines and began to work to extinguish the flames. As Assistant Chief Chris Martinson pulled up onto the scene, he noted that there was a heavy volume of smoke and flame was increasing at a rapid pace.

Two people were inside the home at the start of the fire and were able to safely evacuate.

Interior fire crews searched for fire extension, but they kept damage to mostly the garage area. A neighboring home did sustain damage to property and windows due to the extreme heat from the fire.

Initial damage estimates are set at $100,000 to the vehicle and home.

The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time.
