(KAIR)--No injuries are reported following an early Monday morning Atchison house fire.
According to a release from Atchison Fire Chief Patrick Weishaar, Atchison firefighters responded to 1301 Santa Fe Street, shortly before 1:10, finding, upon arrival, fire and heavy smoke coming from the front and side of the residence.
All occupants were safely evacuated.
The fire, Weishaar says, began in a back bedroom and spread to an adjacent room and a room on the second floor above before crews were able to bring it under control.
Fire, smoke, and water damage were reported, though the structure remained intact. The home is a single-family residence divided into two separate units, with the second-floor unit unoccupied at the time of the fire.
The Atchison Salvation Army and the Red Cross from St. Joseph, Missouri, responded to provide assistance to those displaced.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Atchison Fire Department.
