Humboldt Bay Fire is battling an active structure fire at home on T Street, between 4th and 5th Streets in Eureka.

According to scanner traffic, multiple engines were dispatched to the scene. First responders reported seeing heavy smoke and fire on the porch that had spread to the attic.

LoCO Editor Hanks Sims in on scene and reports that one lane of 4th street has been shut down. The home is boarded up and appears to be uninhabited.

EPD has set up traffic control in the area. We will update with more information shortly.
