At 8:18 PM on Wednesday June 12th, the Duluth Fire Department responded to the report of fire on a stove at 2510 W 2nd Street in the upstairs apartment.

The first arriving company reported smoke coming from the windows upstairs and made entry. Fire Department members were able to perform a primary search of the fire apartment and confirm that everyone was outside, while quickly containing and extinguishing the fire in the stove area of the kitchen. 

A secondary search confirmed that all persons evacuated the building without rescue. One person occupying the second floor apartment when the fire began sought out medical attention. That person was helped into a Mayo Medical Ambulance and was transported to Essentia Hospital. His injuries are not known at this time. 

Smoke detectors on scene were sounding and appeared to assist in warning building occupants to evacuate. 

Damage is estimated to be $5000 (Five Thousand) for the building and components, and $2000 (Two Thousand) for personal contents. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

There were no Fire Department injuries and three reported civillian injuries. Two persons were treated on scene and released and one person was transported to Essentia Hospital. 

Duluth Fire Companies from Lincoln Park, Downtown, and Spirit Valley responded to the incident
