(Bright, Ind.) - Multiple local agencies responded to a structure fire on Wednesday night in Dearborn County.
Bright Fire and EMS received the initial dispatch for a fire on Murray Road.
Upon arrival, crews observed heavy smoke venting from the eaves.

While the residence sustained some fire and smoke damage, the majority of the home and its contents were saved.
