A fire severely damaged a home in Cedar Falls early Monday morning, however everyone made it out safely. Firefighters were called to a home in the 6600 block of Viking Road at around 5:45 AM. The caller reported seeing the fire in the basement and kitchen. When fire crews arrived, they said the home was fully engulfed in flames. There were no fire hydrants in the area of the home, so water had to be shuttled to the home, so firefighters could put out the fire. The home sustained major fire, smoke and water damage. The American Red Cross assisted the occupants of the home. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
