The University of Montana's Alpha Phi sorority house caught fire early Sunday morning, forcing its sisters to evacuate.

Firefighters said the blaze began at about 5 a.m. and sprinklers helped to contain flames from spreading.

No smoke was visible when firefighters arrived, but they said they did find flames in the house's basement.

An electrical malfunction is believed to be the cause, but the investigation remains open, firefighters said.
