No one was injured in a two-alarm home fire at 2545 Ousdahl Road this morning, according to Lawrence Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Eve Tolefree.

Firefighters responded to an 8:25 a.m. call of a garage fire and saw heavy black smoke from several blocks away from the home, Tolefree said. A second alarm was requested. Firefighters had the fire, in a split-level, wood-frame residence, under control by 8:54 a.m., Tolefree said.

The Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross is helping the displaced occupants of the home.

Firefighters identified an unattended portable fire pit as the cause of the accident, Tolefree said. Estimated damages are approximately $85,000.
