SPRINGFIELD — UPDATE @ 9:20 a.m.:
A home received damage to the first and second floor after a fire on South Race Street around 6:20 a.m. Saturday.
Fire crews say preliminary investigations show the fire could have been a result of an electrical overload.
The home needed heating repairs and a space heater was found in each room, the Springfield Fire Department said.
