At 10:22 p.m. Friday,  The Lafayette Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 124 Sternburg Drive and arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the home.

The occupants, identified as Mr. and Mrs. Micheal Crochet, were outside in a safe location and did not sustain any injuries. Two other people inside the home were also able to escape.

Fire officials say the fire began in a bedroom due to an electrical short in a power cord to a window air conditioner unit.

The fire has been ruled accidental.
