Overnight fire seriously damages Smyrna home

SMYRNA, Ga. - A fire seriously damaged a home overnight in Smyrna.

The fire broke out at around 2 a.m. at a brick home on the 2400 block of Reed Street, officials say.

Crews worked to battle the blaze but were not able to stop the fire before it caused major damage.

A neighbor told FOX 5 that the owners of the home were on vacation at the time of the fire. The owners' two older children were able to make it out unharmed.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
