DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Initial damage estimates were set at 250 thousand dollars to the home and contents for a fire Sunday at a residence in the Gary neighborhood of Duluth.
Firefighters were alerted to the blaze in the 1500 block of 101st Avenue West at 12:35 a-m and arrived to find heavy fire from the back deck that had spread rapidly into both levels of the house.
The four people in the house were able to escape unharmed but the house was heavily damaged and the contents were nearly a total loss.
The displaced residents have found shelter with other family members.
The fire is being investigated by the Duluth Fire Marshal’s Office but it was likely caused by a charcoal grill.
Firefighters from Gary, Spirit Valley, Lincoln Park and Headquarters were on the scene for over four hours early Sunday morning.
