Approximate location of the fire.

A midnight fire gave one Princeton resident a scare Sunday morning.

Around midnight on Saturday emergency crews were called to Fenchurch Avenue in downtown Princeton. 

A fire had broken out in the basement of a single family home. 

The lone occupant escaped the fire unharmed.

Princeton fire chief Eric Gregson said the investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing, but the blaze is not considered to be suspicious.

"The house is still standing and the insurance company is involved now," he said. 

Two engines and a command vehicle responded to the fire. About 15 members of the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department extinguished the fire.
