Firefighters prepare to leave the scene of a fire on Page Road as residents sift through belongings under a carport, Wednesday afternoon.

A Catoosa County family just across the line from East Ridge has been displaced from their rented home Wednesday afternoon after a small fire damaged the single-story dwelling.

The Catoosa County Fire Department was called to 525 Page Road just after noon on a house fire, officials said. When they arrived fire was coming from a peak of the roof on the front of the house and residents were trying to salvage belongings, officials said. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters quickly made entry and extinguished the blaze, the origin of which seemed to be over head, said CCFD Division Chief Daniel Walston. He said that firefighters pulled the ceiling to ensure the fire didn’t spread into the attic.

Chief Walston said he didn’t know what may have caused the fire. He has asked the Georgia Fire Marshal’s Office to conduct an investigation.

Chief Walston said that his men took precaution by spreading out tarps to help preserve the family’s belongings. Officials said the dwelling suffered heavy water damage. The Red Cross has been notified to provide assistance to the displaced residents, officials said.

The East Ridge Fire Department and Fort Oglethorpe Fire Department assisted Catoosa County on the call. Traffic on McBrien Road was south of State Line Road was detoured around the fire scene, causing minor inconvenience to motorists.
