Firefighters are on scene at a house fire on Youngstown's west side.

The fire started just before 8 p.m. at a home on the 100 block of S Osborn Avenue.

Flames were seen shooting out of the attic of the home through the roof.

Officials say there were three people inside the home when the fire started but they were able to make it outside.

Battalion Chief Silverio Caggiano told 21 News that a man inside the house suffered some smoke inhalation but he refused to go to the hospital.

Caggiano says the family will not be able to stay at the house and repairs will need to be done to fix it.

Its unclear at this time how the fire started.
