Early Morning Fire Causes Damage at Home on Snow Street (VIEW VIDEO HERE)

A fire early this morning (Monday) destroyed an outbuilding and caused some damage to the residence of Buck Mooneyham at 710 Snow Street.
911 received the call at 2:15 a.m. and dispatched city police and firefighters. DeKalb EMS also responded.
According to Smithville Fire Chief Charlie Parker, a police officer was first on the scene and awoke Mooneyham, who had been asleep when the fire started. Mooneyham was not injured.
Smithville firefighters arrived to find flames protruding from the roof of the outbuilding behind Mooneyham’s home. The fire had also spread to the back porch and rear exterior of the house. Heat from the flames melted blinds on windows inside the residence.
Chief Parker said firefighters believe the blaze started from a propane heater inside the outbuilding that had been left on overnight.
