Early Morning House Fire In Missoula [AUDIO]

Just after 3 o'clock this morning, Missoula City Fire crews were dispatched to a house fire on 7th Street. Captain Rick Pecta says the home's lower level was substantially damaged by fire and smoke. My interview with Captain Pecta is attached. Pecta says the owner of the home was taken to a local hospital for issues relating to smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is under investigation by City Fire officials.
