Time of Alarm: 0112 hours

Upon firefighters arrival, they found a decent amount of smoke coming from the structure. The crew pulled a hose line into structure for fire attack. Another crew did a simultaneous search of home with nothing found. The fire was small and found in basement. The fire could have been larger if not for a broken water line which assisted with extinguishment as well as the occupants stating they discharged a fire extinguisher on the fire prior to firefighters arrival. All occupants and pets that were in the structure safely escaped.
The fire is under investigation, however, it appears a space heater was possibly too close to some combustibles.
