(KAIR)--No injuries are reported following an early Monday morning Atchison house fire.

Captain Lee Kipple, of the Atchison Fire Department, told MSC News firefighters were called to the home, located at 608 South 4th Street, around 5:20 Monday morning.

When they arrived, Kipple said heavy smoke was seen, and a fire was located in the basement of the home.

Firefighters worked to extinguish the fire, with the home left with smoke, heat, and water damage.

The three residents who escaped safely are being assisted by the Red Cross as they remain displaced.
