CHESNEE, SC (FOX Carolina) -
Three fire departments responded to a Chesnee home early Friday after a fire broke out.
The fire was reported at a home on Highway 11 near North Cash Avenue just before 2 a.m.
Fire officials at the scene said the home is a total loss and the cause is believed to be electrical.
Assistant Fire Chief Billy Bishops said heavy fire was coming from the home's roof when they arrived. He said a woman and at least two children made it out of the home OK.
Bishop said the home was built in the 1930s, making it more difficult for firefighters to attack the fire in the roof.
