Firefighters from Lewis and Atlantic were called to a residential fire northwest of Lewis, Monday evening. The call about smoke coming from the roof soffits at 60766 555th Lane came in at around 6:24-p.m. All the residents were out of the home before firefighters arrived.

Lewis Fire Chief Terry Erickson told KJAN news the fire was electrical in nature. The fuse/electrical panel box shorted out and caught fire. The flames ran along/upside the kitchen. He said damage to the home was minimal. There was smoke damage, though, and the electricity was shut-off until repairs could be made.

There were no injuries reported. Medivac Ambulance and Cass County Emergency Management Director Mike Kennon were at the scene to offer assistance.
