This was the scene at 74 Leigh Avenue Monday, at 11:20 a.m. shortly after resident Laura Light discovered smoke and called 911. “Kudos to the Princeton Police Department,” said Ms. Light. “They were here in 30 seconds and the Princeton Fire Department arrived shortly afterward.” Ms. Light, who has lived at the address for three and a half years, initially thought that the smoke indicated a fire in the attic. “But it seems to have started in the crawl space,” she said. No one was hurt in the incident. After responding to Ms. Light’s call, firefighters found heavy smoke and flames coming from a basement wall and crawl space at the rear of the house. The flames were quickly extinguished. Officials on the scene said that the cause of the fire was not clear; it remains under investigation by police and fire personnel. (Photo by L. Arntzenius)
