Overnight house fire takes hours to put out

It took about 30 firefighters to bring a house fire under control near Catoosa.

The fire happened around 11:30 Tuesday night. The neighbors called 911 and said that the house was fully  involved.

The owner was not home at the time of the fire, but he reportedly said he may have a left a stove on.
