WARSAW — The occupants of the home at 1611 E. Center St., Warsaw, were displaced after a house fire this morning.
Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory received the initial call shortly after 8:30 a.m.
Fire Chief Joel Shilling said two children and one adult were at home at the time of the fire, but no one was injured. The American Red Cross is assisting the family.
County records indicate the home is owned by Ngozi and Renae E. Aberdeen.
The fire was under control within 30 minutes, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire’s origin was in the front living room. With the type of construction of the home, Shilling said the fire made its way up the walls and into the roof, which is why firefighters had to cut a hole in the roof. There was significant smoke damage to the home.
Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory was assisted by the Winona Lake and Burket fire departments. Lutheran EMS and the Warsaw Police Department were on scene as well.
Shilling said his department did a great job of getting the fire stopped.
