A fire broke out at an assisted living home late Thursday night in Eau Claire.
The Eau Claire Fire Department got a call at around 10 PM for a structure fire at 104 Illinois Street, which houses a transitional assisted living home for adults. The firefighters saw light smoke on the second floor, which was coming from a fire in the upstairs bathroom.
The residents were evacuated by the time the fire crew arrived, and staff were able to limit the spread with a fire extinguisher.
There were no reported injuries, and residents were able to make arrangements to stay off-site for the evening. It's estimated that there was $10,000 worth of damage, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
