Just before 3:00 a.m. crews were dispatched to a possible residential fire in the 28000 block of Hult Road in Beavercreek,with reports of the roof on fire. First arriving firefighters found smoke coming from the roof and quickly entered the residence to find active fire in the attic.  Hoselines were rapidly deployed, bringing the fire undercontrol, stopping the fire damage within minutes of arrival. 

The fire was called in by the homeowner who reported being awakened by the smoke alarm going off and finding smoke in his home.  The homeowner identifited the fire in the attic and attempted to exintguish the fire using a fire extinguisher. Thankfully, no injuries were reported and the residents were not displaced.  Fire Investigators will be on scene today to determine what caused the fire and the extent of damage caused.

Working smoke alarms do save lives.  Please install a working smoke alarm on every floor of your home and in each sleeping area.
