Multiple fire departments responded to a basement fire in Lakeview early Tuesday morning.
Around 1 a.m, the Lakeview Fire Department was dispatched to a reported basement fire at 491 Jefferson Ave.
Lakeview Assistant Chief Freddy Senti was among the first on scene and was met with smoke showing from the two-story private dwelling. With this, a signal 98 (smoke showing) was immediately transmitted.
