A Macedon family was not injured in an early morning fire. Firefighters were called to a home on West Street between Bickford and West Main Street.

Crews say a family of three was heating the home with a pellet stove when it malfunctioned. Firefighters say heavy smoke damaged the roof and attic. We're told someone inside woke up due to the smoke and was able to get everyone inside out.

Investigators say they are checking for hot spots throughout the home. Crews say this should be a warning for families using heaters or pellet stoves to heat their homes this winter.
