House fire quickly controlled by BFD

A fire broke out Saturday in a two-story rental house at 924 E. Atwater Ave.  

Bloomington Fire Department Sgt. Jeremy Goad said engines were dispatched at 12:37 p.m. and arrived on the scene four minutes later.

The two-alarm fire was under control about five minutes after engines arrived and the last engine left the scene at 1:44 p.m., he said.

Sgt. Goad said there was no major visible outdoor damage to the building.

“Everybody was out of the house when we got there,”  Goad said.

Though people were home, there were no injuries as a result of the fire.
