The home’s smoke detectors had activated and notified the only occupant inside of the fire.

The occupant escaped without injury and was able to call 911.

Firefighters were able to contain the fire in the bedroom, DeRaedt said.

The home sustained limited smoke damage on the second floor and water damage during the extinguishment of the fire.
