(Anita, Iowa) – Firefighters from Anita and Wiota were called to the scene of a house fire near 6th and Locust in Anita, Tuesday evening. Anita Fire Chief Eric Steffensen told KJAN News they were paged out at around 5-p.m.  When they arrived, there was heavy smoke coming from the attic.

Steffensen says the resident was able to get out of the structure with their pets. He said also, there ended-up being a lot of fire in the attic, so most of the damage came from water and smoke.

The cause of the fire remains undetermined at this time. Chief Steffensen said he wants to “Thank everyone who helped, including the Wiota Fire Department.”  Crews from Anita were on the scene until around 6:54-p.m. No injuries were reported.
