An early Wednesday morning fire damaged a home on the 400 block of Dave Williams Road, displacing a family of four.

According to Liberty County Deputy Fire Chief Jarad Huffman, the fire was reported to 911 shortly after 9:30 a.m.

Huffman said when he arrived flames were shooting several feet from the rear of the single story home.  It took firefighters from Liberty County Fire Services stations 12 and 20 to bring the fire under control.

Huffman said the interior of the home sustained heavy fire and smoke damage. A dog was later discovered inside the residence alive and seemed to be unaffected by the smoke and fire.

All family members got out of the house unharmed.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. The Red Cross is assisting the family.
