The fire was under control with no injuries and five people were displaced at 3:43 a.m. The limited damage and the preservation of life are attributed to working smoke alarms; early 911 access, and the quick response and actions of the brave, efficient, and professional work of the firefighters who stretched hand lines to extinguish the fire on the second floor.
