Just before 2 p.m. a structure fire was called in near Michael and Mountain Street to assist on an outside agency report.

The roof is reported to have caught on fire at a structure and the reporting party believed it to be insulation that caught.

Upon arrival heavy smoke could be seen coming from the roof.

The house appears to be in the process of either removing or installing a new roof. Fire crews gained access from above with chainsaws.
