"Firefighters went to work attacking fire in the front rooms of the home while additional crews searched to be sure there were not other occupants," Rhodes said. "It took firefighters about 20 minutes to bring the fire under control."
The resident told fire investigators that they awoke to the sound of fire and got out.
"Excessive contents made the home difficult to navigate," Rhodes said. "It's unknown if the home had working smoke alarms."
The home sustained significant fire and smoke damage. No injuries were reported and the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The displaced resident will be staying with family members according to Rhodes.
