KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Several people escaped a house fire Monday morning, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety told FOX 17.

Not everyone stayed to be interviewed by investigators, but initial reports show 2–10 people were inside when the call came in just after 7:20 a.m.

All of them got out.

Crews found both floors of the home filled with smoke and flames, getting control of it in about 30 minutes and keeping neighboring homes from suffering any structural damage.

Washington Avenue was shut down near Race Street to give them room to work.

No one was hurt and crews spent several hours putting out hot spots, using drones to identify them from above without endangering crews.

It is not yet known what caused the fire.

Those with knowledge related to the fire are encouraged to connect with investigators at 269-337-8260 or Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
