STAMFORD, Vt. — A fire at 316 Jepson Road on Thursday morning left a home with extensive heat and smoke damage.
About 20 firefighters responded to the fire, which was reported at 5:57 a.m, and the scene was cleared by 8:30.
"When we first arrived, fire was venting out the kitchen window, and the family was already out of the house," said Fire Chief Paul Ethier. "Our guys did a good job and knocked it down pretty quickly with one hand line and foam."
Ethier said the entire family was out of the house and safe when fire crews first arrived at 6:01 a.m.
"The family was in bed and was alerted to the fire by working smoke detectors," he said.
The cause has yet to be determined, but is not considered suspicious. The home is insured and the American Red Cross was notified of the fire an provided assistance to the family.
Clarksburg Volunteer Fire Company and the North Adams Ambulance Service were also on the scene.
