Owners of a Michigan Avenue home have been out of their residence following a basement fire Saturday afternoon.
Firefighters responded to the call just before 5 p.m., and the fire was upgraded to a second alarm.
Officials say the fire started near a television set and involved a couch, interior walls, and the ceiling.
Flames were brought under control quickly, and damage was mainly confined to the basement.
No injuries have been reported as a result of the fire. Firefighters believe the home was vacant at the time of the blaze.
