The first unit on scene found heavy fire involvement with 50 foot flame lengths to the rear of the home that had worked its way into the structure. An aggressive exterior attack as well as a coordinated interior attack contained the damage to the rear portion of the house. Two residents were home at the time but exited unharmed. The 101 year old female was transported to a local area hospital for observation. Both residents were displaced due to the damage that was sustained by the fire, Red Cross was requested for the individuals. The cause of the fire was a possible candle left unattended to the rear of the structure.
