Estherville, Iowa (RI) — Two people escaped from a house fire in Estherville yesterday (Monday) and one was taken to a hospital for treatment. Estherville Fire Chief Travis Sheridan says there was heavy smoke inside the house when firefighters arrived.
Sheridan says the fire started next to a recliner in the living room and there were smoking materials and electrical cords in that area. Firefighters were on the scene for about 45 minutes and the fire chief says most of the damage to the home is from the smoke.
