(SALEM, Ore.) - Salem Fire Department crews responded to a second alarm house fire this morning at 10:30 AM. Jeff Mack with Salem Fire says the residence located at 5128 Cecilia St SE belonged to Mr. Troy Willmon and his family.

The Willmon's discovered the fire in their home this morning and called 911, Mack said. They were able to evacuate the residence.

"Upon arrival the Salem Fire Department discovered fire in the attic. Access was made into the attic space and firefighters extinguished the fire before and further fire damage could occur."

Mack says investigators determined that the fire was accidental in nature. It stemmed from an electrical failure in the attic.

Nobody received injuries related to this fire, but the fire did leave the family displaced, Mack said.
