No injuries reported
Savannah Fire & Emergency Services firefighters were able to minimize the amount of damage a small eastern Savannah house suffered from a blaze Friday afternoon.
No injuries were reported in the fire that started in a back bedroom of a small, gray block house in the 600 block of East Anderson Street about 2:30 p.m. It appears no one was inside the structure when the blaze began, said Mark Keller, Savannah Fire spokesman.
The fire spread to a back porch off the bedroom, but it was contained and eventually extinguished by responding firefighters.
Keller said the power had to be turned off, so any people who live in the house will be temporarily displaced.
Savannah Fire Friday evening was investigating what led to the fire.
