Firefighters from Anita and Wiota were called to the scene of a residential fire early this (Friday) morning, about three-miles northeast of Anita. The call came in at around 12:43-a.m. When law enforcement arrived on the scene near 750th and Boone Road, they saw heavy black smoke but no immediate report of flames coming from the structure where an elderly male and female reside. The male resident was outside the home, but the female was believed to still be inside on the upper floor.
