A resident of this home sits outside the garage watching as Burket firemen remove a smoldering mattress from inside. Burket Fire Department responded to the 12:21 a.m. call today at the residence at 3574 Ind. 25S. The name of the homeowner/occupant was not available this morning. The people living in the home escaped without injury and a neighbor called 911 to summon the fire department. The cause of the fire is undetermined, but is not suspicious, according to Burket firefighter John Tucker. The bedroom where the fire started sustained extensive damage and there was smoke damage throughout the house. Photo by Gary Nieter, Times-Union
