Monroe Fire

MONROE — Smoke in the attic of a multi-family dwelling was reported at 1:30 p.m. May 14 in the 2000 block of 9th Street. Upon arrival, firefighters found light smoke on the second and third floors of the balloon-frame house. This older style of construction is susceptible to rapid fire spread, often resulting in a total loss. However, firefighters were able to confine the fire near the point of origin and there was minimal damage. The cause of the fire was related to the electrical system. No injuries were reported. Residents were able to return to their home.
