The Urbana Fire Department responded to a fire last night that left the occupants of a home displaced, according to WCIA

WCIA reports that the fire broke out at a home on Sunday on Glover Ave in Urbana. At around 8:40 p.m. firefighters were dispatched to a call for smoke coming from a house. Crews were on the scene within minutes.

Firefighters proceeded to increase the alarm to a working fire. Flames were found burning on the second floor of the house, and UFD put out the blaze within an hour. No injuries were reported and WCIA reports that no occupants were home at the time of the fire.
