C-Falls home destroyed by fire
Columbia Falls firefighters douse hot spots at a house fire Tuesday morning about 2 a.m. The home was destroyed but no one was injured.
A home on Eighth Avenue West in Columbia Falls was destroyed in an early Tuesday morning fire that broke out about 12:47 a.m.
The occupants of the house were awakened by smoke alarms and were able to get out safely, but with the phones in the house, the call didn’t come in until the house was fully engulfed.
Police said a single woman lived at the home.
Whitefish responded with mutual aid.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, Columbia Falls Fire Chief Karl Weeks said.
