Earlier this morning, the Alexander City Fire Department responded to a fire on Marshall Street after receiving reports of smoke billowing out of a residential home. 

The fire occurred around 9 a.m. Wednesday with police and firefighters arriving on the scene minutes later. Smoke could be seen rising from the structure, which prompted firefighters to climb the home with a ladder and search for the cause of the flame.
