Everly House Fire



Everly, IA (KICD)--Two fire departments were called out to a house fire in Everly Monday morning.

Everly Fire Chief Brian Kahl says the departments were paged about 7 AM to 505 North Adams -- which has been vacant between 2 weeks and a month. The alarm was turned in by a passerby.

Lots of smoke was visible with flames shooting through the roof when the first fire trucks rolled up. Firefighters were able to knock the fire down fairly quickly. The Fostoria Fire Department was paged out to help. Fire departments were on the scene for about 2 hours.

Kahl says he and Deputy State Fire Marshal Dave Schipper think the fire was accidental. The origin was likely a basement furnace -- but more investigation is possible.

Officials say the house was extensively damaged and may have been totaled by the fire. Nobody was hurt.
