Firefighters from three departments battled tough and smokey fire tonight in a home on West Division Street

The two-story house fire at 314 W. Division St. was  located next to the old Andriachi’s department store.

While in Marquette tonight, we witnessed the big Salvation Army truck headed to the fire with its Red Lights Flashing. I am a fan of the Red Cross.

Here are some outstanding photos and video taken by a friend Brian Bureau of Ishpeming.
