Five fire departments responded to a residential house fire on Nilewood Drive just outside of La Porte and on Pine Lake Tuesday morning. The home was engulfed in fire when the first firefighters arrived. La Porte, Center, Scipio, Coolspring and Springfield battled the blaze for nearly two houses before it was brought under control; despite the efforts the home was a total loss.
The homeowners were not home at the time of the fire which was reported by a neighbor about 9:30 AM. #wims #nwi #localradio
