PORT ANGELES — A Sunday morning house fire on Georgiana Street resulted in a lot of smoke damage but little from flames, according to the Port Angeles Fire Department.
The resident of 922 E. Georgiana St. was not home at the time of the fire, and no one was injured, said Lt. Mike Sanders.
The fire began at some time before 9 a.m., Sanders said.
At about 8:56 a.m., an area resident driving through the alley between Georgiana and Front streets behind Wells Fargo Bank noticed smoke coming from the home and called 9-1-1, he said.
Sanders said five firefighters initially responded to the report of smoke with two engines and a medical unit.
Six additional firefighters arrived to assist about 10 minutes later, and firefighters were able to clear the scene by about 10:30 a.m., he said.
He said it was not immediately clear what caused the small fire, and the cause is under investigation.
