Engine 26 arrived to find light smoke coming from the eaves of the single story brick veneer dwelling at 402 Francis Street. The home owner arrived home to find the building in this state and called Fire-Rescue. Firefighter-Paramedics deployed one 1-3/4 handline, making entry through the front door. They found the fire just inside the living room and quickly extinguished the flames, containing it in the area of origin. Crews pulled the ceiling above the fire, but found no extension. The fire appears to have started from an electrical outlet, then extended up one wall to the ceiling. The remainder of the home suffered smoke damage.
