Ann Arbor firefighters extinguished a fire that displaced a family on Red Oak Road this afternoon.
Battalion Chief Robert Vogel said the house fire, reported at about 3:45 p.m., was caused by disregarded smoking material.
Although the fire was contained to one room, much of the rest of the house had smoke damage, making it uninhabitable for the rest of the day, Vogel said.
No one was injured, but the homeowner's child was there at the time, officials said.
Damage was estimated at $50,000.
