A family lost their two-story home following a late Wednesday afternoon fire in North Granville. No injuries were reported, and the cause remains under investigation.
More than a dozen Washington County fire departments responded to 10376 state Route 22 near the intersection of county Route 17 around 4 p.m. to a fully involved structure fire.
“It got a really good start,” North Granville Fire Chief Scott McCullen said.
The home was determined to be a total loss, but firefighters were able to save a home next door, he said. The neighboring structure was intact, but some of the siding was melted.
Slippery weather conditions made fighting the fire somewhat challenging, McCullen said. Tanker trucks delivered water from a quarry that McCullen said was about four miles down the road.
