Killeen Daily HeraldA Thursday night house fire in Killeen has left four people displaced.
Fire investigator Chris Mahlstedt said the fire, which occurred in the 1400 block of Steven Drive, likely left the home unlivable.
The cause of the fire had not been determined Friday afternoon. It is not currently being investigated as an arson, Mahlstedt said.
No injuries were reported.
Firefighters believe the fire began in the garage of the house. It spread through the attic of the home before entering other rooms.
A member of the family was house sitting at the time the fire was reported, Mahlstedt said. She reported smelling smoke and called the fire department.
