A house fire early Wednesday morning in Roanoke County has been ruled accidental by investigators.
Firefighters said they responded to the house fire around 1:45 a.m. to the 2400 block of Kingston Road, and had the fire under control by 2:30 a.m.
When they arrived on scene, they found flames coming from the roof and three residents waiting outside.
The fire was contained to the attic with damage estimates at around $35,000.
25 people responded to the scene, including 4 engines, 2 ladder trucks, 1 ambulance, 1 EMS Captain, 2 Battalion Chiefs, and the Investigation unit.

County officials told WFXR the house did not have working smoke alarms.
