FORT MYERS, Fla. — A fire broke out at a home on Emily Drive in Fort Myers on Thursday night, according to the Red Cross.
The local disaster-trained team helped coordinate emergency aid to the family impacted by the fire, including children.
The Iona-McGregore Fire Department reports the home had damage to the kitchen only. The fire was called in at 6:14 p.m. The department said there were four people inside the home and two dogs, but no injuries.
The investigation is ongoing, but appears to have been a cooking fire.
The Red Cross said it is providing emergency financial assistance, health and mental health services, one-on-one support to connect people to available recovery assistance and will continue to provide additional support to the family to meet their disaster-caused needs.
