EATON TWP. — Multiple departments responded to a fire in Eaton Township overnight.

The fire, at 37795 West Capel Road, was reported at 4:48 a.m.

Eaton Township Fire Chief Jason Brooks said residents of the home called in the fire and were able to evacuate by the time the Fire Department arrived.

The fire, which is believed to have started in a utility room in the home’s basement, primarily damaged the home’s lower level but also caused smoke damage throughout the home, Brooks said.

The home’s five residents — the homeowner and her grandson, her grandson’s wife and two kids — won’t be able to stay in the home. Brooks said he was unsure where they planned to stay but said “all sorts of friends and family” were at the scene to help them out.

Brooks said the fire is believed to be accidental but remains under investigation. He didn’t have a damage estimate. Brooks said the fire was under control quickly but added that Eaton Township firefighters stayed on the scene for about five hours to make sure it was completely out and to assist the family and investigators.

Firefighters from the village of Grafton as well as Carlisle and Grafton townships were called in to assist Eaton Township.

Capel Road was completely blocked for about three hours. At 7:40 a.m., firefighters reported one lane had opened back up.
