Six area fire departments were called to the scene of a house fire in northern Kent County Monday.

Algoma Township Fire responded to the scene on Friendly Ln, a private drive off 15 Mile, between Hoskins and Algoma, shortly before noon Monday, April 1. “It was gone before we got here,” said a fire official on scene.

The home was set back in the woods and water needed to be brought in on tankers.

Assisting fire departments included Cedar Springs, Courtland, Kent City, Sand Lake, and Solon.

No injuries were reported, and everyone got out safely. At press time Wednesday, there was no word yet from Algoma Fire on the cause of the blaze.
