Fire crews quickly knocked the fire down in the crawl space and in the hall and bedroom. A search was done and no one was found inside. A total of 18 personnel along with three Engines, one Ladder Truck and 4 support and staff units worked the scene for just over 3 hours. No one was at home and we have been unable to contact any of the occupants. The Fire Marshal's Office investigated the blaze and the cause was determined to be arson.
