Early Friday morning firefighters responded to multiple calls reporting a house fire at 5626 S. Hazel Street. When the first engine arrived they found fire on the exterior of the house and flames visible in the attic. Firefighters quickly put the fire out, searched the house and found that everyone got out safely. The fire was accidental – caused by an unattended propane cooker left on outside the home. Fire lapped up the side of the house into the second floor and attic and caused $250,000 in damage. Red Cross assistance was requested for four adults and six children. There were no injuries.
