Three people escaped the flames without injury after a South Bend home caught fire.

Crews were called around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 10, to the 5000 block of Packard Avenue which is on the city’s northwest side.

Crews were challenged by hotspots that were difficult to get to.

The home was a complete loss by the time the fire was completely out.

So far, there’s no word about the cause.
