GRAND TERRACE - A single-family house was damaged in a fire Monday afternoon that San Bernardino County firefighters said appeared to be electrical in cause. A woman and an infant were inside the house at the time but escaped unharmed, said Jerry Abshier, a county fire captain.

The fire was confined to a family room in the house on the 22000 block of Cardinal Street but smoke damage spread throughout the dwelling, he said.

Four engines and 14 firefighters responded to the scene at 3:22 p.m. and had the blaze out in several minutes.
