A north Roseburg home was damaged this morning after an electrical fire erupted in the kitchen.
Thirteen firefighters from the Roseburg Fire Department responded to the blaze at 1043 N.E. Barager Ave. A resident of the home awoke to the sound of breaking glass at about 1:50 a.m.
He alerted other family members and they were able to safely leave the residence and notify the fire department.
Although the fire was quickly contained in the kitchen, the main floor of the structure sustained smoke damage, according to a fire report. Damage to the house and its contents was estimated at $20,000.
Investigators determined the fire was caused by an electrical device sitting on a kitchen counter.
No one was injured and a family dog was freed from the area of the fire.
Members of the Roseburg office of the American Red Cross also responded and met with the family to discuss their immediate needs.
