A family of three adults and six children were displaced after a fire broke out at their home in Northwest Jacksonville Friday morning.

Fire crews were able to control the fire and extinguish it. After, JFRD requested an investigator.

Family told First Coast News that no one was inside the bedroom, where the fire is believed to have started and that no one was injured. The family did lose a cat.

"Now we have to figure out where we're going to place them and not interrupt their mindset of school," the homeowner said.
