(Fargo, ND) -- No injuries are reported and an investigation is underway following a subzero townhome fire in south Fargo.

Crews responded to the fire located at  2240 30 ½ Ave South at around 12:28 p.m. Authorities say everyone left the home and was safe before firefighters arrived on the scene. The first crews on the scene reported heavy smoke coming from the 2nd floor window of a one unit townhome complex. The fire was under control in about 10 minutes. The townhome had heavy fire and moderate smoke damage in a second floor bedroom. 

Additional crews were called to the scene to ensure the safety of attached townhomes and found light smoke damage but otherwise no fire in the homes or attics. Damage estimates are not available at this time, and the cause is still under investigation.
