The fire was called in around 1:30 a.m. at a home in the 700 block of West Harlan Avenue, not far from Interstate 35 and East Southcross. Firefighters said when they arrived, they found flames showing on the left side of the home along with underneath the house and in the attic. Fire officials said they were able to put out the fire, even with a few challenges.
