A structure fire Friday, Jan. 16 in the 7600 Lawton Avenue South drew multiple fire departments. Cottage Grove Police evacuated the family after arriving on scene.
The fire was reported around 8:09 p.m. according to Cottage Grove Fire chief Jon Pritchard, starting in the garage and spreading quickly to the house as wind conditions combined with cold temperatures, ice, and location made for complex water operations.
There were no firefighter or occupant injuries.
