The homeowner told Rogers that she believes the space heaters she had running before the fire may have been the cause.
“My heater in the house, they are out. So I was in the house without heat, so I got maybe three or four space heaters going,” the woman who didn’t want to be identified said.
The fire department says she had a working smoke alarm in the house that was monitored by her alarm company. The company called 911, and that’s how crews responded so quickly.
