Firefighters battled a three-alarm house fire in Morristown early this morning.

Fire officials say flames were shooting out of the home on Catherine Lane when crews arrived just before 4 a.m. A car near the front porch also caught fire.

It took firefighters hours to knock down the flames.

The seven residents of the home safely escaped and are being relocated by the Red Cross.

Fire officials say the fire likely started on the first floor and that the cause does not seem suspicious.

Fire crews remain on the scene to investigate and ensure the fire doesn’t spark again.
