One person was rescued from the second floor of a home during an early morning fire in Caldwell on Friday.
The home is “pretty much a total loss,” Caldwell fire chief Mark Wendelsdorf said.
The fire took place on the 1200 block of Blaine Street at approximately 6:50 a.m. The fire started in the basement, Wendelsdorf said, and spread through the house.
The home is divided into a pair of apartments. The resident of the first floor had already left for work, Wendelsdorf said, while the resident on the second floor was rescued via a ladder.
The fire is now contained, Wendelsdorf said.
