A home was destroyed by a fire in the Highway 58 area on Friday.
A neighbor made a 9-1-1 call at 2 p.m. reporting heavy smoke and fire at 6346 Fairest Dr. Highway 58 Volunteer Fire Department responded and arrived on the scene confirming fire coming through the roof.
According to Chief Charles Harris, Highway 58 VFD, the homeowner and children were home at the time. She told Chief Harris that she spotted flames coming from the back porch.
Since the house was fully involved, the firefighters went to a “defensive” attack and contained the fire within 30 minutes.
Highway 58 VFD requested mutual aid. Tri-Community VFD responded with a pumper truck and additional firefighters for manpower. Hamilton County EMS was on the scene to stand-by for potential injuries.
No injuries were reported. Estimated damages are $150,000.
The cause of the fire is undetermined and will be under investigation by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department.
Highway 58 VFD was assisted by Tri-Community VFD, Hamilton County EMS and Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
