It took more than two hours for La Crosse firefighters to put a fire out and overhaul a south side residence to make sure the flames were completely out. Chief Blane Neher said crews were sent to the home at 1502 10th St. South shortly after 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Heavy smoke and fire were coming from the back of the home when firefighters arrived. In a statement, Chief Neher said crews worked extremely hard to extinguish the fire. More time was spent checking the home, or overhauling the residence, to make sure the fire was contained. All of the people living in the home were accounted for. No injuries were reported. The home had extensive fire and smoke damage. Investigators are working to determine what led to the fire.
