The Crookston Fire Department was called back to 605 Holly Avenue on Wednesday evening when a neighbor saw smoke coming out of the residence. KROX talked with Crookston Fire Chief Shane Heldstab, and he said he and the State Inspector and several firefighters were at the house during the day, and there were a few flareups, and they were able to put them out. The older house had wood shavings and thick insulation, which was causing the continued flare-ups. Before they left on Wednesday afternoon, they told the neighbor to keep an eye out on the house and, if he saw smoke, to call the fire department. When the Crookston Fire Department received the call on Wednesday evening, there were about 20 firefighters at the station for a debriefing about the fire in the morning at the same residence.
The firefighters rotated in shifts to clear out the ceiling/attic area to get all the wood shavings and insulation out to make sure there wouldn’t be any more flare-ups. The video of the firefighters clearing out the ceiling is below.
