A fire that broke out early Saturday in the basement of a single-family home in Urbana has displaced its occupants. Urbana Fire Division Chief Clint Weidert said about 1:45 a.m., a passerby noticed smoke coming from the home in the 900 block of Division Avenue. Weidert said the single-story house is occupied, but no one was home. Firefighters also saw smoke coming from the house when they pulled up and found fire in the basement of the single-story residence. They quickly doused the fire but remained on scene a couple hours doing overhaul and investigating. Weidert said the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
