The Winkler Fire Department responded to a fire at a home in the Village of Haskett Friday.  Firefighters were dispatched to the home at 11:30 am.

Fire Chief Richard Paetzold says the fire, which was accidental in nature, started in the living room of the house.

Paetzold says the homeowner acted quickly by getting her children out of the home to safety and then used a garden hose to douse the flames until crews arrived.

Paetzold says the home did receive some smoke and fire damage, although an estimate of the damage was not available.
