A two-alarm fire heavily damaged a home at 1231 Severus Drive
early Saturday morning, but no one was injured, authorities said.
The fire in the two-story home started at about 1:30 a.m., said
Fire Department spokesman Bill Tweedy.
The residents evacuated after their smoke detectors sounded,
and they later found shelter with a relative.
The blaze, caused by a problem with a hot tub motor, burned the
jacuzzi and a gazebo area before entering the home through a
sliding glass door, Tweedy said. Firefighters controlled the blaze
within minutes, and damage was estimated at $225,000.
