On the morning of Tuesday, November 29th the Hibbing Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire at 2531 4th Ave East in Hibbing. The first arriving unit found a story and a half single-family home with smoke and fire showing from an upper story window. Crews quickly knocked down the fire, containing any fire to the room of origin. The occupants of the home were there at the time of the fire and were able to evacuate the home safely.
No civilians or firefighters were injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Hibbing Fire Department and the State Fire Marshal’s Office.
As always, thank you to our Public Utilities, Public Works, and Police Departments. We are also grateful for the continued cooperation from our mutual aid partners Keewatin Fire Dept, Virginia Fire Dept and Chisholm Fire Dept.
