Fire inspectors are looking into the cause of a blaze that damaged a Hilo home Thursday night.

Fire officials say crews were called just before 10:30 p.m. to Kinoole Street.

When firefighters arrived, they found flames burning the porch area of the two-story home.

The flames had spread to the bedroom upstairs through a window and into a main living area downstairs.

All of the residents in the home were able to escape the fire safely.

The fire was extinguished in about 15 minutes.

Damage was estimated at $80,000.  The Red Cross is helping the affected family.
