Asst. fire chief Andy Hewitson said firefighters were able to confine the blaze to the attic, but damage was 鈥渟ignificant鈥 and the house was temporarily uninhabitable, though it appeared to be repairable.

Hewitson described it as a 鈥渞eally good save鈥 by the firefighters.

There were no injuries to the house occupants.
