My neighbor's house was just destroyed by fire. I saw the firetrucks come up the road and slow down and knew they were ready to turn in close by. Looked out the back deck and saw a huge plume of black smoke rising.
Mrs. Tyme and I grabbed our coats and ran the 100 yards over there to see if we could be of any assistance.
Three walls are still standing and 40% of the roof, but I think it's a total loss for our neighbor.
Local volunteer fire department was quick on the scene and performed well in their duties but the house was too far engulfed to save much if any of the structure.
There is no official cause as of yet, but it seems to me to be from the wood stove or flue. Looks like it started in the attic area.
No one was injured.
Sure makes you think.
