A family is displaced after a fire ruined their home's attic and electrical wiring system Wednesday morning according to Yakima fire officials.
Crews reported to a home in the 1100 block of Fairbanks Avenue early Wednesday and found smoke coming from the home's attic and rafters.
Crews found the location of the fire through using a Thermal Imaging Camera and worked to put it out. The home's ceiling and insulation in the attic was removed so the fire wouldn't be able to spread, according to officials.
Officials with the power company shut off power to the home, and firefighters knocked down the fire.
The home will need to be rebuilt inside and rewired before the family can return, say fire officials.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, and the home's occupants are now staying with other family members.
