An early morning fire causes an estimated $75,000 dollars in damage.
The Eau Claire Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 2944 Mars Avenue. First arriving units found smoke showing from the roof of the structure and quickly determined all occupants and pets were out of the house.
Fire crews made entry to the house and found heavy smoke conditions through the first floor with fire in the kitchen area. An aggressive fire attack contained the fire to the kitchen area but smoke and water damage was found throughout the house. No injuries were reported and the fire remains under investigation.
