The fire had a pretty good start as no one was home when the fire started,as the resident works the night shift, a neighbor who had just gone to bed smelled smoke and decided to investigate, he then discovered the fire and called it in.
Several area fire departments assisted in the firefighting efforts. Eaton has no Hydrants, so the operation required several Tankers.to bring water to the scene. The Department was called out around Midnight, and remained on the scene until 6:30 A.M.
