    An Iona McGregor Fire District Battalion Chief told Fox 4 there were three people inside the house when the fire started and everyone made it out. There were no injuries.

    The house is just off McGregor Blvd. near the intersection with Brentwood Parkway.

    Investigators told Fox 4 they're not sure yet how the fire started.
