A fire ripped through a home at 2915 S. and 800 E. in Starke County on Friday, December 23rd.
“The occupants awoke to an extra warm home, but there were no smoke alarms going off,” said Washington Township Assistant Fire Chief, Dave Pearman. “The man entered the living room and saw flames showing in the house and immediately tried to get their dogs out and that took a little bit of time. By the time they had most of the dogs, all but one, out of the house, the house was fully engulfed. Unfortunately, their smoke detector wasn’t working.”
The names of the owners were not immediately released and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
