Crews responded to a house fire in the 5600 block of Evaneline Street. At the scene, firefighters found a bedroom in the home on fire. 

The blaze was quickly extinguished before it could spread to the rest of the home. Authorities say a space heater left unattended near "combustibles." 

No one was home at the time of the fire.
