CRANSTON, R.I. -- A family of seven is being helped by the Red Cross after their Potter Street home was badly damaged from a fire early Sunday morning.

Crews arrived at 163 Potter St. about 4:45 a.m. and the house was fully involved. Fire officials say only one man was home at the time of the blaze and he was outside before the first responders arrived.

There were no injuries, but the single-family house had significant damage. Officials say the Red Cross is helping the four adults and three children with alternate housing and other necessities.

The cause of the fire is unknown and being investigated.
