A faulty gas fireplace may have been the cause to an early morning house fire in Bend on Sunday. A woman evacuated the home before the fire. No one was injured.

Bend police helped evacuate a woman from a two-story residential fire at 21185 Azalia Ave. in southeast Bend early Sunday morning.

Three engines, one medic unit and two support units responded from Bend Fire and Rescue at 1:25 a.m.

The fire was located on an exterior wall in the back of the house, near a fireplace vent and was quickly extinguished, according to a press release.

A woman who was asleep in a bedroom located on the second floor and directly above the fire, woke to her smoke alarm sounding. She evacuated the house with her dog and called 9-1-1. The smoke alarm batteries had just been replaced.
