Exhaust Fan to Blame For House Fire in Reno

A report of smoke in a home brought several Reno Fire Department fire engines to a house in southwest Reno last night. It turned out to be a bathroom exhaust fan that caught fire. The Reno Fire Department says the fan overheated, burned itself through the ceiling of the bathroom and fell onto the ground, catching a towel on fire. The fire was contained to the bathroom. No one was injured, four people are temporarily displaced.
