units confirmed light smoke coming from the exterior attic vents of the
structure. All occupants exited the
house without injury. Fire crews quickly
located a small fire in the attic. The
fire was controlled within minutes and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was an overheated
electrical circuit in the attic. Damages
are estimated at $20,000.
