The Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency reports Villisca Fire and Rescue was paged out to the scene of a house fire in Villisca at around 8:15-p.m., Friday. After they arrived on the scene at 3269 260th Street, crews attempted to make an aggressive interior fire attack to stop or slow the spread of fire in the home, however crews were forced to back out and took up a defensive firefighting operation, due to many issues they were faced with, including heat, smoke conditions and ice. Firefighters were on scene for roughly 3.5 hours before the fire was extinguished.
