Lake Home Destroyed by Fire

A lake house was destroyed by fire early this morning (Tuesday).
Central dispatch received the call at 1:09 a.m.
Lieutenant Brian Williams of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department told WJLE that the residence, located at 287 Crest Drive off Poss Road, belonged to Christy Cantrell.
No one was home at the time of the fire and the cause is undetermined.
According to Lieutenant Williams, a resident who lives in the area looked out and saw a glow in the distance and called 911.
Members of the Short Mountain Highway, Cookeville Highway, and Midway Stations responded along with the tanker and equipment trucks but they could not save the structure. It was already fully involved in flames by the time the firefighters arrived.
The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and DeKalb EMS were also on the scene but there were no injuries.
