The home partially collapsed as additional firefighters were arriving on the scene. For 45 minutes, firefighters defensively battled the blaze, managing to contain the fire and ensuring that it wouldn’t spread to neighboring homes. About 40 firefighters assisted in extinguishing the flames.
The home, which had been listed for sale, was empty and unoccupied. While nobody was inside the home at the time of the fire, the structure itself is considered to be a total loss.
TVFR is still investigating how the fire started.
