GLASGOW — Members of the Haywood Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire at the home of Mike Rich on Scottsville Road on Sunday morning.
Firefighters arrived on the scene at approximately 10 a.m. Sunday to find a blaze in the kitchen of the home. The fire started on the stove and was contained to the area of the kitchen, but the rest of the house sustained heavy smoke damage, according to Haywood VFD Chief Mike Hatcher.
The home had working smoke detectors that alerted Rich’s children, who were in the home at the time of the fire, and they were able to escape and call 911.
There were no injuries reported, Hatcher said.

Firefighters were on the scene between an hour and an hour and a half, according to Hatcher.
