FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – The Fort Wayne Fire Department responded to a reported house fire in southwest Fort Wayne. The call came in just before 6 a.m. Monday morning.

A person inside the home woke up smelling smoke inside the home. A fire had started in a front room of the home, according to FWFD.

Three people and a cat made it out of the house safely, said FWFD. Crews were able to get the fire under control in a little over 5 minutes.
