Firefighters arrived to find visible flames from the two-story residence. They quickly deployed a hose line through the front door to the second floor, applied water, and ventilated smoke through the attic while checking for occupants. The fire was successfully extinguished by 1:45 a.m.
The homeowner advised firefighters that the fire was in the upstairs bathroom and there was no one inside the home.
