Spirit Lake, IA (KICD) — Spirit Lake Fire Chief Pat Daly says calls to mobile home parks seldom end well, but quick action and a little luck Saturday avoided major damage.  The department was dispatched shortly after noon and found the occupant spraying a wood deck with a garden house.  The fire department took over and put out the structure fire without it spreading into the main home or neighboring properties.  Daly says smoke that did enter the home will probably prevent the occupants from staying there over night.  Firefighters remained on the scene for about an hour and a half.
