Clinton fire officials responded to a small house fire Sunday night.

At approximately 10:30 pm, Clinton fire was called to 821 East Woodlawn Street for a report of smoke in a living room. Upon arrival, the resident of the home told authorities the fire had been put out but authorities found smoke in the attic and discovered a small fire.

After quickly extinguishing the upstairs fire, the damage was mostly limited to the results of the smoke and water. 

Kenney, Wapella, Maroa, and Waynesville fire departments were dispatched to the scene but authorities called off Maroa and Waynesville. 

Local authorities could not identify a cause so the case has been turned over to the State Fire Marshall.

Authorities were on scene until almost 1:30 am Monday.
