No one was injured in a house fire Thursday in Chillicothe. 

According to the Chillicothe Fire Department, a fire was reported in the 1400 block of Lambert Dr. shortly before 6:30 p.m. When crews arrived, there was heavy smoke and flames coming from the west end of the house and the fire was located in the back bedroom. Crews were on scene for approximately two hours. 

According to a news release, one of the residents stated she had been in the basement and heard the smoke alarms sounding. She went upstairs and was met by two small children who told her the room was on fire. She ran to the kitchen and grabbed a box of baking soda and tried putting the flames out without success. She then grabbed a comforter to try to smother the flames. When that was unsuccessful she then got everyone out of the house.  

When the fire department began to investigate the room and contents, it was noted that the lower half of the bed and floor around the bed had more substantial burn patterns. Obtaining permission from the parents, the small children were questioned and a 4-year-old stated that he had a hold of a long lighter and accidentally caught the bed of fire.
