CENTERVILLE, Iowa - Authorities say five people were injured in a house fire in Centerville in southern Iowa.

KCCI-TV in Des Moines says a driver called 911 to report the fire shortly before 7 a.m. on Thursday. Officials say there were five people inside the home, and all were taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Their names and conditions were not immediately released.

A witness, Bill Weideman, told KCCI that state Highway 5 in Centerville was shut down for more than four hours as firefighters fought the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
