Fire crews responded to Aldan late Thursday afternoon for a house fire.
The dispatch went out shortly after 5:30 p.m. as a back porch on fire at a house in the first block of South Linden Avenue.
An additional call reported possible entrapment.
A minute later, arriving crews reported a three-story single with heavy fire showing from the right side of the house. Crews soon learned that police were reporting that all the occupants were out of the house, according to fire radio traffic.
Soon the report was that there was fire at several spots and heavy smoke from the roof, and a second alarm was struck.
Eventually a third alarm would be struck as well.
The incident was placed under control at 6:45 p.m., with a heavy and lengthy overhaul expected.
Official details were not yet available.
