Fire leaves Hamilton home uninhabitable

HAMILTON, Ohio (WKRC) - Three adults and one child are all safe after a house fire overnight in Hamilton.

Firefighters were called to the home on Buckeye Street at about 3:15 a.m. They found the attic fully on fire.

Three adults and a child got out of the home on their own. They're not sure if their cat made it out.

A firefighter says heavy timber construction made it hard for them to get water into the attic from inside the home. They had to put water on it from the outside.
