Saturday morning Prescott Fire responded to a fire alarm in the 100-block of West Carleton. Spokesman Scott Luedeman says as crews arrived on scene they noticed a haze of smoke in the air. He says shortly after, the Prescott Regional Communications center confirmed there was a fire at the address. Upon Arrival crews found heavy Smoke coming from the entire attic of a 2 story 3500 square foot Victorian Structure built in the late 1800’s. Residents were already evacuating upon their arrival. The older construction combined with many remodels to the structure, made this fire challenging to fight. Luedeman says it took crews about an hour to extinguish the fire and crews remained on scene to check and extinguish any additional hot spots. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
