MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Montgomery firefighters battled three house fires Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

These fires come after Montgomery Fire Rescue battled 5 house fires over 4 days this week.

According to MFR, two of the fires took place Wednesday night. The first occurred just after 7 p.m. on Grayson Grove, which is located off Ray Thorington Road. The fire was found in the home’s kitchen area and was quickly extinguished. The occupants of the home had evacuated prior to MFR’s arrival.
