PORT ANGELES – No one was injured during a house fire this morning in the 1100 block of East 5th Street in Port Angeles.

Port Angeles fire crews were dispatched just before 9:00am to find heavy fire and smoke coming from the 1st floor of a large, two story home.

The fire was quickly knocked down, but extended from the ground floor to the attic.

Four residents were home and sleeping at the time, and were awakened by a smoke detector.

Firefighters say rooms that had closed doors were spared, and rooms with doors open were heavily damaged.

The occupants of the home declined help from the Red Cross and were being assisted by family members.

Investigators estimated the loss at $200,000.
