MARQUETTE -- No injuries were reported after a Crescent Street residence caught fire in Marquette.
Early Wednesday morning the city of Marquette Fire Department was dispatched to a building on the 400 block of E. Crescent St. after receiving reports of a structure fire.
Upon arrival at the scene, firefighters found that an apartment on the second floor of the three-story apartment building was full of smoke.
After a 360-degree inspection of the building, fire crews were able to contain the fire to a back bedroom area. Crews searched and evacuated the building. The fire department personnel then performed a salvage operation and cleared the scene just before 8 a.m.
