Early Morning House Fire In Washington

An investigation is underway into an early morning house fire in Washington Friday. Crews were called to the two-hundred block of Allison Avenue just before 4 a.m. It took crews about thirty minutes to bring under control and  there were no injuries as the result of the fire. Fire Chief Gerry Coleman says the occupant was not home when crews arrived. The fire was limited to the upper floor of the home. Coleman, however, did say that police had responded to a report of someone shooting fireworks out of a window in that area a short time before the fire broke out. He says it’s unclear whether or not the two incidents are connected.
