ST. LOUIS — A family of three was displaced after a fire in a single-family home overnight Friday.
A tweet from the St. Louis Fire Department said that one person was treated for a non-life threatening injury.
A later update Friday from St. Louis Fire Captain Garon Mosby said the person was evaluated by EMS and refused transport to a local hospital.
The fire was reported at about 2 a.m. Friday to the home in the 4400 block of Marcus Avenue in St. Louis.
The Red Cross is helping the family who was displaced, according to the tweet. No one else was found in the home upon a search by fire.
Mosby said the cause of the fire is believed to be the result of smoking in a bed, according to an occupant of the home.
