The Clinton Fire Department responded to an early morning fire on Thursday.

Around 7 am, crews were called to the 1600 block of East Washington Street, where, upon arrival, first responders found a one-story home with heavy fire in the attic. Firefighters were able to swiftly knock down the flames and created holes in the roof for ventilation to suppress the rest of the smoke and hot spots. 

Crews from Clinton, Kenney, Maroa, and Wapella Fire Departments were on scene. 

As of the time of this story, Clinton Fire officials were still on scene investigating with the State Fire Marshal's Office. 

No injuries were reported, and no one was in the home at the time of the incident. Two cats were rescued from the home.
