On Monday afternoon, a devastating fire broke out on Pettus Street, leading to the complete destruction of the building and the majority of its contents. Fire Chief Jay Moore reported that emergency services received the alarm shortly after 1 PM. Upon their arrival, the structure was already half consumed by flames.
The homeowner was reportedly engaged in repairs on a four-wheeler when an engine backfire is believed to have ignited the blaze. Fortunately, although the residents were present at the time, they were not inside the home, and there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident.
