Blowing embers forced the evacuation of several surrounding homes, but authorities said no one was injured. Manchester First Aid and Quality Medical Transport assessed the resident as a precaution measure.

Responding officers saw flames and smoke coming from the roof.  Fire Departments from Manchester, Whiting, Ridgeway, Joint Base, Cassville, and Whitesville responded to extinguish the fire.

The cause and origin of the fire is under investigation.
