Mar 12, 2019 | 6:01 AM

PENHOLD- Fire crews acted quickly to knock down a fire at a home in Penhold in Monday. 

Shortly after 6 p.m., Penhold Fire crews responded to a structure fire on Dundee Cr.

When crews arrived smoke could be seen coming from the main floor of the house.

A fire in the main floor bathroom had spread into the attic and through the roof.

Acting Fire Lieutenant Carter Carson said, “The quick actions of the first arriving engine crew achieved a very quick knock down. The insulation was cellulose so there was a lot of overhaul to do, removing it all from the attic.”

There were four children and two adults in the house at the time and all made it out safely.

The cause is believed to be a problem with the exhaust fan in the bathroom.

Damage is estimated at $20,000.
