House fire near Custer and Parker roads in Plano under control, officials say

Plano firefighters battled a house fire near Custer and Parker roads Friday evening, officials said.

The fire was at a house on the1600 block of Cherbough Drive and began about 6 p.m., Plano Fire-Rescue spokeswoman Peggy Harrell said. The lone resident in the home was able to get out and was taken to the hospital for light smoke inhalation, she said.

By early evening, the fire was under control. Harrell said it was too early to know if the house was a total loss and that investigators were still trying to determine the cause of the fire.

KXAS-TV (NBC5) reported that responding firefighters initially went into the home, then retreated to try to put out the fire from outside the building.
