(KAIR)--An Atchison family is displaced following a Saturday morning fire that left their two-story, 1012 Atchison Street home uninhabitable.
Atchison Fire Chief Patrick Weishaar, in a release, says that's "due to utilities being disconnected and smoke damage," leaving "the occupants...displaced until the structure can be evaluated and cleaning and repairs can be made."
All occupants of the home, along with their two pets, were able to escape safely.
Weishaar says the Atchison Fire Department's "investigators were on scene and early signs were that the fire was electrical in nature," but the investigation remained ongoing as of Saturday.
Firefighters were called to battle the fire around 6:55 Saturday morning after they received a report that the home's back porch was on fire.
According to Weishaar, the "fire that appeared to have started where the enclosed back porch attached to the 2-story structure was able to be extinguished from both inside the second story and from accessing the wall and roof of the back porch."
The Atchison Salvation Army responded and are assisting the victims with needed resources. Atchison County EMS also responded for standby.
No injuries were reported.
