In the early hours of Saturday morning, a devastating fire consumed a home in Lawrence County. The Ethridge Fire Department received an emergency call around 5:30 a.m. reporting that the residence on Weakley Loop was filled with smoke. Upon their arrival, firefighters were met with a scene of destruction, as the house was already engulfed in flames.
Despite the dedicated efforts of the fire crews, the home and all of its belongings were ultimately declared a total loss. Fortunately, the sole occupant of the residence, along with her dog, managed to escape the blaze without any injuries.
Assistance at the scene was provided by various agencies, including other fire and rescue units from Lawrence County, emergency medical services, the sheriff’s department, and representatives from the American Red Cross. While the preliminary investigation suggests that a heater may have been the cause of the fire, officials are continuing to look into the incident to determine the exact circumstances surrounding it.
