First arriving crews from Roanoke County Station 7 (Clearbrook) found nothing showing from a two-story, brick-sided, single-family home. Once crews made entry into the home they did discover fire and smoke conditions in the kitchen. The fire was under control in less than 10 minutes after the arrival of the first units. The house was occupied at the time of the fire by one adult who escaped without harm and there were no other injuries.
