(Cleveland) – A White County home was heavily damaged by a fire early Wednesday.
White County Fire Department spokeswoman Ana Newberry said in an email release, at approximately six Wednesday morning, county firefighters with automatic aid from City of Cleveland and Lee Arrendale, responded to the report of a structure fire on Lakeview Lane, west of the Cleveland city limits.
Newberry said, upon arrival at 27 Lakeview Lane they found an estimated 1,700 square foot home with flames through the roof of the carport and just beginning to extend to the main house.
The occupants were out of the home upon arrival of fire personnel.
According to Newberry firefighters made a quick knockdown of the fire.
Newberry said, the homeowner advised that she “awoke to the smell of smoke and later heard an explosion,” and quickly exited the structure with her children.
Both local and state fire investigators were called to the scene in an effort to determine a cause. Newberry advised that the home is unlivable at this time.
Firefighters were on scene for about 3 hours. No injuries were reported.
