Two residents were home at the time of the fire, both escaped the home. One resident was transported by Washington Township medical crews to Kettering Medical Center for evaluation after possible smoke inhalation. Smoke alarms sounded at this home.
Fire crews controlled the fire quickly. Fire damage is primarily in the garage and attic above. Smoke damage resulted throughout the home. The fire remains under investigation. The amount of dollar loss is yet to be determined.

The more quickly you exit and contact the fire department, the more quickly they can arrive to minimize danger and to reduce property loss.
