Temple Fire & Rescue crews had their hands full Monday afternoon battling flames at a home on North 15th Street.

When they arrived, they saw thick smoke billowing from the front door of a single-story home and flames flickering inside. They entered the house to search for anyone who might be inside. Thankfully, no one was found and blaze was extinguished.
