Kodiak’s fire departments jointly responded to a structure fire Saturday evening, which required monitoring into Sunday morning. No injuries or fatalities were reported and the cause of the blaze is under investigation.
Fire Protection Area No. 1, also known as the Bayside Volunteer Fire Department, received a report of a fire at 3266 View Crest Lane – in the vicinity of the Kodiak Island Housing Authority – on Saturday, April 13 around 7 p.m.
Bayside Fire Chief Scott Ellis said after firefighters arrived on scene, he asked Kodiak’s other departments for assistance or mutual aid.
“What we found on arrival was a detached approximately 30 x 30 foot, two story, wood frame structure, appeared to be a utility or out building type structure. A garage or storage building, or workshop. It was well involved on our arrival,” Ellis explained.
