Firefighters worked quickly to keep the fire from spreading to other nearby homes. Debris from the blaze blew across the road, igniting in a tree and grass, but firefighters quickly extinguished those and returned their attention to the house fire.

According to neighbors, the house had been unoccupied for many years. They also claim to have seen two men on four-wheelers at the house shortly before the fire started.
