• Candle is suspected cause of Sanborn house fire
An unattended candle is suspected to be the cause of a fire in a Sanborn residence on April 20.
The Sanborn Fire Department reports seeing flames coming out of a second floor window as they approached the residence on West 3rd Street. Firemen put out the fire with extinguishers, ventilated the house, performed overhaul and boarded up the window.
No injuries were reported. The upstairs bedroom where the fire occurred was heavily damaged, and the hallway also sustained heat and smoke damage. Closed doors helped limit damage to other rooms on the second floor.
