Volunteer firefighters from Menlo, Casey and Stuart battled a house fire Monday night, on the north side of Menlo. Stuart Rescue was also on the scene. Guthrie County Sheriff’s officials say the 9-1-1 call came in at 6:05-p.m. Menlo Fire Chief Ben Gilman told KJAN News the blaze at 3317 Rose Avenue apparently started in the attic, but he wasn’t able to declare a cause.

While other firefighters were released from the scene at around 7:40-p.m., Menlo Fire remained to put out any hot spots. Gilman said the home sustained significant water damage, and the family was making other, temporary living arrangements. No injuries were reported.
