The Cleveland Fire Department is investigating a fire that left six people without a home in Little Italy Wednesday morning.
According to fire officials, it happened in the 1900 block of East 123rd Street.
The specific cause of the fire is unknown but preliminary information indicates it may have been electrical.
Smoke alarms alerted everyone in the home, and all six were able to make it out of the structure safely. The Red Cross is assisting everyone.
Cleveland Fire Battalion Chief Tom Lally stressed the importance of smoke detectors.
“Working smoke alarms got them up and got them out,” he said.
The damages to the home are estimated to be around $50,000.
