Firefighters found light smoke and fire in the attic of the second-floor bathroom and the blaze was extinguished and confined to the area, the statement said. The house was rendered uninhabitable.

Three residents and their pets were evacuated and the American Red Cross was called to provide assistance with housing, fire officials said. No injuries were reported.
