Multiple agencies returned to the site of a Thursday afternoon fire in Riverside after the roof of the house reignited early Friday morning.
Washington County dispatch records show Riverside firefighters were joined by units from Lone Tree, Kalona, Ainsworth and Washington just after 4:30am after a caller reported the roof at 91 West 3rd Street was fully engulfed. The house was the site of an earlier fire Thursday night. That incident saw fire crews from Riverside, Kalona, Hills, and Ainsworth arrive at the address to find heavy smoke and fire coming from the second floor. The fire was quickly brought under control, and firefighters began leaving the scene two hours after the initial call for service.
No people were found inside, but a dog was saved from the structure. No civilians or firefighters were injured.
There is no indication of how much additional damage was caused by Friday morning’s flare-up.
