Firefighters battled ice and single-digit conditions as they worked to extinguish a house fire in Security-Widefield Thursday morning.
Crews were called out to Silverdale Drive around 2:15 a.m., when temperatures were hovering just a handful of degrees over zero. The fire sparked in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
"Upon arrival, our crews found heavy fire conditions coming from the upstairs, with fire venting out over the roof," said Battalion Chief James Chapman with Security Fire Department.
Four people inside the house escaped. Reporter Jenna Middaugh said it appeared the family may have taken refuge inside a fire truck while crews battled the blaze.
A fifth person -- the occupant of the bedroom where the fire started -- was unaccounted for. Firefighters search the home several times and could not find anyone.
