What began as a two-alarm blaze this morning at the Healing House facility at St. John & Elmwood thankfully turned out to be a very minor fire in a rear stairwell.
Authorities believe someone smoking under the stairwell is the cause.
Damage was confined to a small stairwell in addition to the building.
Pumper 23 from Independence Avenue remained on the scene putting out a hot spot. No injuries were reported.
