TOMAHAWK: HOUSE FIRE


On December 22, at approximately 12:37 a.m., the Tomahawk Fire Department, Tomahawk EMS, and Lincoln County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a report of a house fire on Stevenson Road, west of Grundy Road, in the Town of Skanawan.

Upon arrival, the rear of the house was fully engulfed in flames.  It was discovered that the seven occupants of the hosue were able to safely evacuate the residence.  All occupants reported no injuries.

As a result of an on-scene investigation, it was reported that the fire started in the attic.  One of the occupants woke up to the noise of cracking and the smell of smoke.  That occupant woke the other six occupants, evacuated the house, and called 911.
