One person was displaced following a house fire in Danville on Wednesday morning. The Danville Fire Department  responded to a reported structure fire at 173 Linden Dr.

When crews arrive on scene they  found a large 2 story residential structure with heavy smoke pushing from the attic. Crews quickly confirmed that everyone was out of the structure.

Crews were  met with an extra task of getting hose lines to the structure due to the distance that the residence was set from the street and the fact that it was set on top of a steep hill. Crews made entry and worked for several hours extinguishing the fire that was in the attic as well as the walls on the second floor.

Damage to the structure was extensive and one occupant was displaced. Crews were on the scene for a little over three hours and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
