A house on Lodge Road in Lake Country was gutted by fire Tuesday, Feb. 21.
The fire was probably well underway before the 3:45 a.m. fire call came in to the Lake Country Fire Department.
When the fire crew arrived they found three vehicles in the driveway. Assistant chief Brent Penner said the fire is believed to have started in the middle vehicle then travelled to the car port attached to the home.
The fire crew arrived at the home in primary search mode as the call indicated people were still in the home. However, all occupants were accounted outside and the efforts shifted to saving as much of the contents of the basement as possible.
Despite water damage in the basement some articles were salvageable for the homeowners. “The structure was known to be insured,” said Penner.
