Fire crews were called to a single-family bungalow on Purdue Bay just before 8 p.m. yesterday. 

Smoke was coming from the house when crews arrived. Firefighters were able to enter the home and fight the blaze form inside. It took about an hour to get the fire under control.

Everyone in the home was able to evacuate safely before crews arrived. No injuries were reported.

Jordan Feliz released his latest album on Friday, October 4, called Everything Good. 

"What's kind of weird is, when I was 15 I was driving with my dad in my hometown," says Feliz on social media, explaining when he realized he should be in music ministry. "I had just led worship for this youth event. My dad was telling me that he really felt like God was telling me I should really pursue this. He was speaking that over me. When he was doing that I felt Holy Spirit for the first time ever. I felt like God rushed over me and said, 'This is what I have for you.'"
