Cedar Rapids firefighters battled a blaze Memorial Day afternoon.
A release from the department indicates that they were dispatched to 1030 13th Street Northwest at 3:21 pm. Residents reported fire and smoke from the attic of the split-level home, and arriving responders were met with heavy smoke from the roof and fire coming from the residence.
Firefighters had to pull the ceilings to gain full access to the fire, and the home suffered significant smoke damage.
The occupants were home at the time of the fire, but they were able to escape without need of medical attention. The damage makes the home unlivable at this time.
Damage estimates were not provided, and the cause of the blaze is under investigation.
