\"\"TYLER \u2014 Crews responded to a house fire west of Tyler near State Highway 31 on Tuesday night, forcing a family of 10 to evacuate. According to Smith County Emergency Services District 2 spokesperson Nikki Simmons and our news partner KETK, the fire started on the back porch of a home in the 9700 block of Hill N. Dale Road. The flames quickly spread from the porch into the attic and firefighters were forced to take a defensive approach upon arrival.<\/p>\n

Simmons said homeowners alerted first responders that a gun safe containing ammunition was inside the home, which is an important safety concern for firefighters on scene.<\/p>\n

The family was able to move their vehicles away from the house before the fire spread further. No injuries were reported and crews were able to contain the flames.<\/p>\n

The Smith County Fire Marshal\u2019s Office will investigate the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
