Wednesday Morning Fire Destroys Ontonagon
Apartment
Wednesday morning around 8:30 a fire
alarm went off, calling the volunteer fire
fighters to 307/309 Minnesota Avenue in
Ontonagon. A 2-apartment building caught
fire, either in the attic or the upstairs
apartment. A family of 4 (which includes 2
younger children) occupied the downstairs
apartment. The upstairs tenants said no one
was hurt. As you can see in the pictures the
wind is blowing the smoke toward the front
of the building. Firefighters are working to
keep the neighboring homes from the fire.
from the rear of the building flames can
be seen emanating from the roof

residents including their pets left the
building unharmed.

streets surrounding the fire.
above Ontonagon Volunteer Firemen pour
water on the building as there was great
concern over the fire spreading to
neighboring buildings as the wind gusted to
over 25 miles per hour and memories of the
great labor day fire remain in everyone's
minds.
Firemen from Silver City and White Pine
responded to the Minnesota Avenue fire.
