A home at 1205 Gable St. is destroyed after a blaze broke out there this morning.
A caller reported the fire at about 11 a.m. today and crews arrived to find “heavy” fire in the rear of the house, said Battalion Chief Matt Smith. The visible flames were put out in four to five minutes, but crews are searching the interior for possible hidden fires in the attic.
