At approximately 6:16 AM, Mobile Fire-Rescue Department companies were dispatched to the 2300 block of Beth Drive for reports of a residence on fire in the area. Upon arrival on scene, fire personnel discovered a single-story residential structure with flames and smoke visible.

Initial reports were that someone may have been trapped inside, but crews confirmed that occupants safely evacuated prior to MFRD arrival. The bulk of the fire was discovered in the attic, and was successfully extinguished with extensive effort.
