A Friday night fire has left a family displaced.

The Smithville Fire Department was summoned to the residence of Angie Campbell at 424 Morgan Drive at 8:03 p.m. Chief Charlie Parker said no one was home at the time. The fire apparently started in the kitchen and dining room. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to that area to keep it from spreading but the rest of the home received smoke and water damage. Campbell and her six children lost much of their belongings.

The local chapter of the American Red Cross was contacted to provide assistance to the family
