While the cause is officially under investigation, it appears a wood stove in the rear of the house may have been the point of the fire's origin.

The fire was reported "knocked down" in less than a half hour with firefighters saying the flames on the outside of the two-story home were out and they were looking for any intrusion of fire into the walls of the house.

Officials arriving on the scene determined within minutes that all the residents had evacuated safely.
