The Wheeling Fire Department is investigating a house fire that occurred in the North Wheeling area of the city late Thursday morning.

Around 10:35 a.m., firefighters were called to 610 Main Street, where flames and heavy smoke could be seen coming from the second floor of the residence. Initially there was a report of possible entrapment inside, but shortly after firefighters arrived, they learned all occupants were able to escape safely.

Firefighters were able to get the bulk of the fire under control in about 20 minutes. The house sustained heavy fire damage and is not able to be occupied at this time. WV State Route 2 was closed in both directions for about an hour.

No firefighters were injured. Fire investigators will work to determine a cause of the fire, which could take several days.
