Overnight Fire

There were no injuries following a two-alarm fire at a home in the 200 block of Rowand Street on the south side.  Fire crews were called to the scene around one o'clock this morning and over 20 firefighters battled the blaze for nearly four hours.  Five pumpers and an aerial platform also managed to keep nearby homes safe from the flames.  No one was in the home at the time and fire officials say it appears the house may have been vacant.
