RAPID CITY, S.D. — On Thursday at around 5:30 p.m, the Rapid City Fire Department responded to a structure fire in the 1000 block of Franklin Street.
RCFD reports that before arrival, fire crews were informed that the homeowners of the household had extinguished the fire by using an extinguisher. When examining the inside of the structure, however, fire crews noticed light gray smoke originating from the chimney.
Fire crews then evacuated the occupants that were inside and began attacking an active fire in the home’s basement. RCFD reports that the fire was contained to the area of origin and the home was vented afterwards.
The homeowners were able to go back inside the house, no injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is unknown.
