According to investigators, the fire appears to have started in the living room and was possibly caused by smoking materials. The occupant was reportedly sitting in the room and saw the couch on fire. The woman escaped unharmed and was outside when fire trucks arrived.

The American Red Cross was contacted to provide temporary assistance for one adult female who was displaced by the damage.
