MILTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A woman was able to escape a fire that destroyed her home early Friday morning.

Firefighters were called to the 900-block of Harrison Street in Milton about 6 a.m. Friday.

The homeowner’s daughter tells WSAZ.com her mom smelled smoke and got out of the house. She said it was a neighbor who called 911.

Family members believe the fire started in the living room, and could be related to a circuit that overloaded and then caught the curtains on fire.

The Red Cross was called to help.

The siding on a neighboring house was damaged by the fire.
