Firefighters were called to a home on Ledan Road around 4 a.m. after receiving reports of a residential fire. When crews arrived, they found a small, single-story home with heavy flames throughout the structure.

Firefighters initially tried to put out the flames from inside the home but were later ordered to evacuate because of the fire’s intensity and changing conditions. Crews continued fighting the fire from outside, using a deck gun to help bring the flames under control.
