A Monday night fire damaged a two-room home and a metal barn at a Bill Reed Road address, a news release from Hamilton County Emergency Management states.
A neighbor called 911 at around 9 p.m. to report the home on fire. Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department personnel responded to 9320 Bill Reed Road and reported a 40×60 metal barn and a two-room residence on fire.
Firefighters worked quickly to get water on the structure, but the flames had spread fast, walls began to collapse and it became unstable, the release states. Firefighters then conducted a defensive attack, while other fire crews contained an adjacent woods fire.
No injuries were reported, but Hamilton County Emergency Medical Services personnel were on the scene in case of any injuries to first responders.
The cause of the fire is undetermined, and the investigation is being handled by the Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department’s Fire Marshal’s Office.
