A fire broke out in Philippi early Friday morning. 

Three fire departments were called to a home with a heavy fire on the roof. 

Barbour County 911 said it started just after 2:00 a.m. 

It was at a home off of Route 119 south. It took crews almost two hours to clear the scene. 

Officials said the cause of the fire was a wood burning stove.
