FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – The Fort Wayne Fire Department (FWFD) says a southeast side house was badly damaged in a fire Monday. Crews were called to the 3600 block of Logan Avenue around 10:24 a.m. and found fire coming from several areas of the single-story home including the attic space. It took roughly 20 minutes for firefighters to get control but not before also causing heat damage to the neighboring home.
The FWFD says the initial house had heavy fire, water, and smoke damage. It is unclear if the smoke detector was working.
No one was reported to be in the house at the time and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
The FWFD released the following:
The Fort Wayne Fire Department was dispatched to the report of a residential structure fire. Upon arrival of the first Engine Company fire was found showing from multiple areas of the home including the attic area. Lines were pulled and a fire attack was started along with a search of the inside of the home looking for occupants or pets. No one was found inside. The fire did extend heat damage to the home next door. Crews will continue to work for the next few hours working on hot spots in the structure. Assisting at the scene was FWPD, N.H.C., T.R.A.A., Red Cross, City utilities and communications.
