Mobile Fire-Rescue crews battled a house fire Thursday in the 1000 block of Belvedere Drive. Officials said crews arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the rear roof of a single-story, brick veneer house and flames visible through the door. MFRD said a woman and a young child were home at the time of the fire but they were able to make it out safely and were taken to a local hospital to be checked out. Firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control, but the house suffered extensive fire, smoke and water damage, MFRD said. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
