At least four people escaped a stubborn three-alarm house fire in West Elizabeth on Friday morning.

Fire crews were called to the house in the 700 block of First Street about 6:30 a.m.

It took a few hours for firefighters to get the fire under control.

None of the four evacuees was injured, but one person is still unaccounted for, police said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
