Upon arrival, crews found heavy fire in the back of a house. They were able to put out the fire, but the home will likely need to be torn down due to significant damage, officials said.

The home was evacuated and no injuries were reported.

The American Red Cross is working to help with temporary housing and other needs, officials said.

The fire is believed to have been caused by a charcoal grill on the deck, according to fire investigators.
