House fire in Coventry under control

COVENTRY -- Firefighters have brought a late-afternoon fire in a home on Barbs Hill Road under control.

Everyone in the wooden, single-family structure at 205 Barbs Hill Road got out safely, said police Lt. Robin Winslow, and there were no injuries.

Police believe the fire may have started about 4:15 p.m. in the attic of the house near the border with the town of Foster and Connecticut. Mutual aid from Connecticut and Foster also responded to the blaze.

No more information was available.
