Yesterday at approximately 3:32 PM, Culver Fire Department was dispatched to the 600 block of South Shore Drive for a structure fire. Engine 1 arrived to find a single story residence with a well-involved basement fire. An aggressive interior fire attack was performed and the fire was contained to the basement.

One occupant was transported to Memorial Hospital of South Bend for treatment by Culver Medic 1.

Culver Engine 1, Ladder 1, Tanker 3, Squad 4, and Truck 11 responded and we were assisted on scene by Culver-Union Township EMS, Aubbeenaubbee Fire Department, Argos Fire Territory, Monterey Fire & Rescue Team, and Marshall County Sheriff's Department.

The Marshall County Highway Department also responded with salt trucks to keep the area safe and free of ice. Special shout out to Tim's Towing LLC for helping get Engine 1 out of the icy drive!

Thank you to the Culver Union-Township Fire Department Auxiliary, Papa's Culver, and The Culver Coffee Company for providing our crews with fresh pizza and hot coffee during the incident!

We have returned Marshall County to a normal travel status effective immediately!

A Travel Advisory was issued on November 29th and briefly upgraded to a watch.

Conditions have improved considerably thanks to the work of the Marshall County Highway Department and other road crews.

Continue to drive with caution just in case some slick spots linger. There are still a few chances for light snow accumulation over the next couple days – drive slow on ice and snow! And happy shoveling!
