A home in Harrison was destroyed by fire Thursday night.
At 10 p.m., a 911 call was made reporting a house fire at 10445 Sims Harris Road. The Highway 58 Volunteer Fire Department responded and reported 75% of the house was involved with fire. Since the house was so involved with fire, firefighters conducted a defensive attack to contain the fire.
The homeowner reported to fire officials that his daughter heard commotion on the front porch. The father went to investigate and found fire on the front side of the house. They immediately evacuated the home without injury and called 911.
Fire officials ruled the fire to be accidental and started in the basement area. The house is a total loss and damages listed at $200,000.
The American Red Cross was called in to assist the family with their immediate needs.
