A house fire in Crescent City Saturday afternoon was contained to an upstairs room. No injury was reported. The homeowners were not at home when neighbors noticed smoke coming from the upper vents of the 2-story house at 504 South Street.

Crescent-Iroquois Fire Chief Scott Schroeder said neighbors also heard a dog barking and were able to rescue the pet. Firemen were at the scene for about four-hours. Watseka, Gilman and Danforth Fire provided mutual aid.

Chief Schroeder reported it appeared the cause may have been a faulty power strip. He advises people to be aware and check for overloads. The State Fire Marshall is also investigating.
