Investigators were expected to be back on the scene Thursday morning after an overnight fire on the north end of Ephraim destroyed a house. The first page went out just before midnight Wednesday evening for crews to tend to a blaze on Shannon Square, located just off Water Street (STH 42). When they arrived, they discovered the home with heavy fire damage occurring to the front, extending into the attic and along the roof line. Ephraim Fire Chief Justin MacDonald says they initiated their mutual aid response immediately.
No one was hurt in the fire, and no cause of the blaze had been discovered as of 6 a.m. Thursday, roughly two hours after they were able to clear the scene. MacDonald says more information will be found during the investigation. Fire Departments from Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, Sister Bay/Liberty Grove, Jacksonport, and Sturgeon Bay also responded.
