DOOR COUNTY (NBC 26) — A house fire broke out in Egg Harbor on Saturday afternoon on White Cliff Road, near Harbor Drive. Fire officials say nobody was injured, but noted "significant damage" to the home.
Firefighters said the 911 call came in just before 3 p.m. Saturday, and they fought the fire for more than two hours.
Egg Harbor fire chief Justin MacDonald told NBC 26 no one in the two-story home was injured. MacDonald says heat and humidity made the fire more difficult to fight.
"[The conditions] were pretty brutal right out of the get-go," MacDonald said. "The first crew made it in, made a pretty good interior tact. But they ran out of air and had to come out, and they were pretty well spent. One bottle is about all they could do today, with the heat and humidity."
A family friend at the scene tells NBC 26 the family that lives in the home which caught fire is safe and grateful to first responders.
Officials say the cause of the fire is under investigation.
