The person inside the home was able to make it out without being hurt.

Crews attacked the flames with the fire engine’s deck gun to knock down the large fire and make it possible to enter the home. Once inside, crews were able to extinguish the fire.

Officials said the fire was marked out about an hour after crews arrived on the scene. The Red Cross was contacted to assist the displaced.
