Smoke and flames caused significant damage to the structure. The fire chief said someone cooking in the home appears to be the cause of the fire.
“We got a call for a structure fire. When they arrived they had heavy smoke and flames coming out the rear of the house. They made a really quick attack on it, great knock down and contained it just to the two rooms in the contents of those rooms,” said Aaron Houlk.
Nobody was injured.
