(KAIR)--No injuries are reported following what Atchison County authorities are calling a small house fire Wednesday night.

Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter said the fire, at 778 Ellsworth Road, was reported around 10:30.

Faced with sub-zero windchills, the Effingham and Nortonville fire departments rushed to the scene, but the occupants of the home had already extinguished the fire.

Lanter said the fire crews took measures to extinguish embers that remained.

Damage to the home was reportedly minor.

Investigators say the fire was caused by a space heater.
