Fire crews responding to a structure fire around 1 p.m. on Friday contained the fire to just two rooms, according to reports from the scene.
Several fire crews were summoned to a structure fire at 3364 Dogwood Road, near Hardin Reynolds Memorial School, in Critz.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a two story wood frame home with visible flames on the right exterior of the home. Firefighters formed two attack lines to fight the blaze: one at the exterior of one corner and the other to attack the blaze in a second floor bedroom, working quickly to keep the fire from extending into the attic.
There were no injuries during the incident.
The Red Cross was called to assist the family of four, which included man, 44; two women, one aged 34 and the other in her 80s and a 12 year–old.
