Before the fire, the family of the home was inside when suddenly the lights went out and smelled a smoking sensation.
The family then turned the light fuse back on, but quickly turned it back off once they saw a glowing wire from a light fixture.

After the fire was extinguished, smoke and fire damage was limited to the ceiling and attic area.
Damage was estimated to be $5,000.
