WHITEFISH - A Whitefish home is a total loss after a fire over the weekend.

Whitefish Fire Chief Joe Page says the house on West Third Street was fully engulfed by the time firefighters arrived Saturday evening.

Page says a neighbor had knocked on the door to get those still in the home out safely.

While the cause is still being investigated, officials believe the fire started from the back patio.

Whitefish Fire Department responded to a structure fire Saturday afternoon in Whitefish.

The WFD posted on Facebook that they received mutual aid from Columbia Falls Fire Department, Big Mountain Fire & Rescue, Evergreen Fire Rescue, MT.

The quick response and help from other departments allowed the fire to not spread to other houses nearby.
