Firefighters from several fire departments battled a structure fire in the Koontz Lake area Tuesday morning.
Koontz Lake Fire Chief Andy Lawrence said they were called to a residence in the 900 E. block of 700 N. just after 10 a.m. CT. Due to a lack of manpower, firefighters from several departments were dispatched to the scene to assist with the single-wide modular home fire.
Lawrence said nobody was home at the time of the fire. One firefighter suffered an injury and was evaluated by Starke County EMS, but refused transport.
