Seeley Lake Fire Chief Dave Lane watches as volunteer firefighter Shelley McGraves sprays water on the outbuilding that collapsed in on itself.
SEELEY LAKE – Seeley Lake volunteer firefighters responded Friday night, Jan. 10 to a structure fire on Grayling Drive in Seeley Lake. The fire was contained to the outbuilding where it started. No one was injured in the fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. No foul play is expected.
The Seeley Lake Fire Department received a page around 10 p.m. for a wildland fire. Before arriving, more information confirmed it was a structure fire. Three volunteer firefighters and Seeley Lake Fire Chief Dave Lane responded to the call.
The open shed was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived. They contained the fire to the shed, keeping it from spreading to the nearby woodpile and house. All resources were off the fire by 12:30 a.m.
"With the limited resources, the crew did an excellent job," said Lane. "The volunteers were trained, followed their training and didn't go outside of their training. They really did some good work, especially containing the fire. We were fortunate that the fire didn't spread."
