WESTFIELD – Nobody was injured Saturday evening when a fire broke out in the upper floor of a house at 75 Wildflower Circle.
City firefighters responded to the alarm and found a fire burning in the attic area.
Nobody was at home at the time of the blaze which broke through the roof before firefighters were able to extinguish the fire.
Deputy Chief Patrick Egloff said that the cause of the fire has not been determined but said a State Police investigator attached to the Massachusetts Fire Marshal’s office will begin his investigation into the cause of the fire today.
Egloff said that the bulk of the damage caused by the fire was confined to the upper floor of the two story single-family house.
While the city firefighters were occupied by the fire, firefighters from West Springfield and Holyoke traveled to the city to stand by at the Broad Street headquarters in case any other emergency occurred in the absence of city firefighters.
