Churubusco / Smith Twp. firefighters were called to the 6200 block of East Lincolnway Tuesday afternoon to assist Union Twp. (Coesse) on a house fire. A resident of the home is also a Union Twp. firefighter.

Because of the time of day, lack of manpower and the warm temperatures, fire departments from Jefferson Twp, Columbia City, Columbia Twp. and Arcola were also called in to assist with the 4 hour blaze.

Crews battled not only heat and smoke from the structure, but a bit of a hot summer day. No one was injured in the fire. The cause is still under investigation.
