LOLO — LOLO- Crews battled a Saturday morning structure fire in Lolo.

The Missoula Rural Fire District (MRF) was dispatched to the 16600 block of Queen Anne Lane at approximately 11:15 a.m. for a residential fire alarm.

The first engine arrived to find smoke in the area of the address and the call was upgraded to a working structure fire.

Crews found heavy smoke coming from the eaves of a two-story, 2,800-square-foot home.

The fire — which was in the kitchen on the back side of the home — was extinguished in approximately 30 minutes.
