Edina Fire Responds to Countryside Road House Fire
Edina, Minn., July 11, 2024 – Edina Fire Department responded to a house fire in the 5600 block of Countryside Road around 9 p.m. Sunday, July 7.
One resident was home when the fire started but was able to escape the home. Once firefighters arrived, there was fire mostly in the kitchen area of the home. At this point, it appears
to be a result of unattended cooking but the official cause of the fire is under investigation by Edina Fire’s Fire Prevention Bureau.
There were no injuries to the residents or firefighters due to this fire. The one resident of the home was displaced.
Edina Fire Department extends its appreciation to their mutual aid partners including Richfield Fire Department, Bloomington Fire Department and St. Louis Park Fire Department. Incident
