Firefighters were battling flames at an east Florence residence early this afternoon.

FLORENCE — An east Florence residence was heavily damaged by a fire today.

The residents of the rental house were able to escape without injury.

The Florence Fire Department got the call at 12:57 p.m. and responded with four engine companies and a rescue unit, Battalion Chief Terry Willett said.

Flames were visible from the rear of the house when they arrived, he said, but the fire was quickly brought under control.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, Willett said.

The Florence Fire Department arranged for the family to stay overnight in a local motel through the assistance of the Salvation Army.

The house is on St. Peter Street.
