Fire crews were out early to battle a blaze at a home in Monroe Township.
The Cairo Monroe Township Fire Department was called out to 7676 Ramsey Road just after five this morning, when the homeowner found that her kitchen was on fire. The kitchen had a lot of fire damage, but the rest of the home suffered smoke and water damage. Fire officials believe the cause of the fire was a short in the stove.
