HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -
The Huntsville Fire Department battled a house fire off Victory Lane in Huntsville early Wednesday evening.
Firefighters on the scene said the fire began in one of the bedrooms around 5 p.m. They confirmed a mattress caught fire, ultimately spreading to other parts of the home and fueling the fire.
At least four units were called to the scene to help extinguish the fire, but it was contained within the hour it was started.
The mother who lives in the home said the fire started when her son was playing with a lighter, but officials have not yet confirmed that information.
No word yet on the extent of the damage, but officials said the family living there has been displaced for now.
