St. Stephen Fire Chief Jeff Richardson tells Tide News the department responded to a call that came in just after 3pm yesterday (Wednesday) of a house fire in Burnt Hill, just outside of St. Stephen.
Richardson says the cause appears accidental, most likely starting from an electric heater in the bedroom and is not suspicious.
The Chief tells us there is significant smoke damage to the home, but because the bedroom door was closed, fire damage was restricted to that room alone.
He says two pets were injured in the incident.
