Salem Fire Protection District Firemen were called to a report of a house fire in the 300 block of North Pearl Street early Thursday morning.
Firemen upon arrival found a fire in the fireplace and several items on fire just outside the fireplace. The fire was extinguished with an extinguisher before it could spread from the small area. Firemen used a fan to clear smoke from the home.
The fire call came in around 1:30 on Thursday morning. Odin Firemen stood by at the Salem Fire Station in the event of another fire.
