DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Quick action by a passer-by alerted the occupants of a house fire in the 2400 block of West 4th Street on Monday morning.
The good Samaritan and the tenants were then able to keep the fire, on the exterior of the home, from spreading by shoveling snow on it.
Crews from the Duluth Fire Department say the fire was 90 percent extinguished when they arrived and damage was estimated at 10 to 20 thousand dollars.
There were no injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
