The family room and its contents were destroyed, but the home remains habitable, he said. An early estimate placed the damages at about $10,000.

The cause of the fire remained undetermined Sunday.

No one was injured, although the homeowner, who was home alone when the fire broke out, was treated at the scene for light smoke inhalation, Coon said.
