The Eau Claire Fire Department was dispatched in the early morning hours for a report of a structure fire at 618 E Grand Ave.
Upon arrival crews found a working fire in the first floor ceiling of a single family two-story structure. All occupants were able to evacuate. The fire extended to the second floor and into the attic. The fire is currently marked under control, while crews remain on scene performing salvage and overhaul operations.
Cold weather and unique construction of the building has added challenges to the firefighting operations.
