“It took us an hour to get it under control,” Jones told CHEX News on Tuesday morning at the scene. “We were fighting it for over three hours.”
Two adults were home at the time and got out of the single storey home safely, Jones said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Damage is pegged at $300,000, Jones said.
“We’re still investigating, but there’s nothing suspicious at this time,” he said. “We’re trying to pinpoint a cause.”
