(KLZA)--No injuries, but major damage was reported to a house in Falls City following a fire Monday evening.
The Falls City Volunteer Fire Department and members of the Falls City Rural Fire Department were called to 2203 Morgan Street shortly before 6:30 Monday evening.
Fireman Jon McQueen estimated flames were 30-feet in the air when firefighters arrived..
Neighbors reported hearing an explosion. The State Fire Marshall is investigating the cause of the fire, and said it was possible the explosion heard by neighbors was due to a major back draft.
