Around 8:30 p.m., a motorist called 911 reporting a fire at 4122 Retro Hughes Road.
The Sale Creek Volunteer Fire Department responded and arrived on the scene confirming a fully-involved house fire with total roof collapse. Due to the instability of the structure, firefighters conducted a “defensive attack” on the fire to extinguish it quickly.
