A fire destroyed the home of Larry Bain, Sr. at 650 Hurricane Ridge Road Saturday morning.
Central dispatch received the call at 5:22 a.m.
County Fire Chief Donny Green said a neighbor spotted the blaze and called 911 but the fire was already well in progress by the time it was discovered. The blaze consumed the house and all of Bain’s belongings inside the home.
Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to a shed behind the house, where shop and farm equipment were stored, although the structure did receive some minor heat damage.
