The Bartlesville Fire Department (BFD) responds to a house fire near Bartlesville High School (BHS).

The fire occurred on Denver Road in the City of Bartlesville late Friday afternoon. This is just to the north of BHS.

According to BFD officials, A-shift arrived to heavy flames and smoke coming from the basement of the home. They say the balloon frame construction of the house allowed the fire to run up the walls from the basement all the way up to the attic.

Crews were able to extinguish the flame before it burned the entire home down. BFD notes that the owners were not at home at the time of the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

We will have more information when it becomes available.
