marina house fire extinguished 01/06/13 10:15p.m. TDH

a small fire broke out in a marina home late saturday morning.  nobody was injured in the just-before-noon blaze, which was determined to have been sparked by a damaged light fixture.  marina firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the flames on the 29-hundred block of carpenter court.  they're crediting the house's smoke alarms for saving the resident's life.
