Firefighters were able to get a quick hold of a fire at a rural Brownsdale residence late Tuesday afternoon.

According to Brownsdale Fire Chief Dave Pike, Brownsdale firefighters were dispatched to a call of a house fire in the 60000 block of 250th Avenue at around 4:35 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

The first firefighters on the scene were quickly able to put out the blaze, located in the basement, and keep it confined to a small area.
