FARMINGTON -- Farmington, Wedington and Fayetteville fire departments responded to a house fire Thursday that started in the master bathroom on the second floor, according to Mark Cunningham, Farmington fire chief.
A neighbor across the street called in the fire about 5:33 p.m. after seeing flames coming out of the second floor room of the house at 166 Birchfield Lane. Cunningham was first on the scene and reported he saw fire coming from the top bay window. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire fairly quickly, Cunningham said.
Fayetteville's ladder truck was used to access to the room and the second floor of the house.
Cunningham said the master bedroom and bathroom sustained heavy smoke and fire damage. The rest of the house had smoke and water damage.
Cunningham said the fire was accidental but the cause of the fire is under investigation by the Washington County Fire Marshal's office.
