The fire department was dispatched to 6160 6t" Street on a report from a neighbor that smoke
was coming from the roof and the chimney. The first arriving unit discovered a fire in the
home. Automatic Aid was called brining additional units from the neighboring departments.
Initial reports from neighbors that an elderly woman was inside were found to be incorrect. The
first crew searched the home and found no one. The fire started in the basement from an
unknown cause and extended through a pipe chase to a bedroom closet. Solder on a water
pipe melted releasing water that controlled the fire but, the home has extensive smoke
damage. The occupant of the home was found to be staying with her grandson. The Anoka
County Fire Investigation Team was called to investigate the cause of the fire.
Natural gas has been shut off to the residence.
