A residential home on Harvey Street was the scene of a structure fire Monday morning.
The Ely Fire Department was paged to 1033 East Harvey St. with reports of smoke coming from the eaves. Babbitt and Morse-Fall Lake fire departments were also called to the scene.
Firefighters entered through the rear door of the home and battled the smoky blaze from the interior initially. Then the Ely Fire Department used its ladder truck to lift two firefighters to the peak of the roof in the front where a hole was cut to allow water to be sprayed in from above.
There was no one reported home at the time of the fire. The house was on the real estate market.
Also responding to the scene were the Ely Police Department, Ely Utilities, St. Louis County Sheriff's department and the Ely Area Ambulance Service.
The fire was initially reported around 10:20 a.m.
