Fire crews in Santa Rosa were able to quickly knock down an attic fire at a home Sunday morning, according to authorities.

According to the Santa Rosa Fire Department, units were dispatched to a residential structure fire on the 400 block of Shepp Court shortly before 9 a.m. The first unit arrived in under five minutes and observed smoke coming from both ends of the attic vents of a single-story home.

Crews accessed the home and found a working attic fire after determining that the home's occupants appeared to be out of the house at the time. Firefighters worked to extinguish the fire by opening the roof and pulling at the interior ceiling. Firefighters managed to keep the fire from spreading throughout the house and the fire was contained to the kitchen and attic area.
