Jefferson City firefighters encountered “heavy fire conditions” in the front of a house during a call Friday morning.
Firefighters were sent to the 100 block of North Polk Street a little before 8 a.m. and found the flames when they arrived, according to a Jefferson City Fire Department news release. Everyone inside had already gotten out safely by the time firefighters arrived.
Firefighters had the blaze under control in about 20 minutes, but remained to help with the investigation into the fire’s cause. That cause remained unknown late Friday morning.
The American Red Cross was called in to help the displaced residents, the release says.
