The occupants were at home and escaped without injury thanks to smoke detectors. They initially reported smoke in the attic, though the fire was located in the basement near the furnace.

The townhome sustained $30,000 in smoke, heat and water damage.

The townhome where the fire happened is uninhabitable, but three adjacent townhomes were still habitable and those residents have returned.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
