The two-alarm fire caused $80,000 in damage to the structure and
$20,000 in damage to the contents, Ahlin said. The detached garage contained
storage for family furnishings, an office and an upstairs playroom, Ahlin
said.
The residence at 1708 Weaverly Drive sustained some smoke damage
and is currently inhabitable because its utilities have been shut off, Ahlin
said.
A man living in the home smelled smoke as he and his family were
about to go to bed Sunday night at about 10:20 p.m., Ahlin said. Everyone
evacuated safely and there were no pets at the residence.
Neither the house nor the garage had working smoke detectors,
Ahlin said. About two dozen firefighters controlled the blaze within a
half-hour.
