A total of 17 residents at Beyond Homeless Inc., were displaced Tuesday evening following a fire in one of the sleeping rooms. 

The Greencastle Fire Department responded to a call at the facility and upon arrival were told of the fire in a sleeping room. Firefighters found a closed door kept the fire contained, allowing crews to extinguish it quickly and keeping it contained to just the single room. 

Fire officials determined the fire was unintentional and caused by an electrical issue.

"It initially came in as a fire alarm. When crews arrived on the scene, they were informed that there was an actual fire. A box alarm was initiated to call for additional county departments to help," Greencastle Fire Department assistant chief Rob Frank told The Putnam County Post. 

He added the fact that the door being closed actually aided firefighters significantly.

"If the door had been left open, the fire could have extended out into the hallway and been a lot worse than what it was," Frank said. 

Frank said other departments assisted the Greencastle Fire Department during the fire. 

"We had Cloverdale continue and Bainbridge Fire covered our station," Frank said. "The crews that arrived first did a great job of locating and quickly extinguishing the fire." 

Frank said there were no injuries in the fire.
