Multiple Departments Respond To House Fire In Dayton

DAYTON, Minn. (WCCO) -- Multiple fire departments in the northwest metro battled a blaze at a home in Dayton Tuesday morning.

The three-alarm fire broke out at a two-story, single-family house on 114th Avenue North around 6:15 a.m., according to the Maple Grove Fire Department.

All of the home's residents were "accounted for and out of the house," the department said.

Crews found fire in the basement and attic, and the department said the "difficult and challenging fire" had not been fully extinguished even four hours after the initial response.

Maple Grove's fire chief said "many departments" were assisting with the fire, and water tankers were called in due to a lack of fire hydrants.
