Area firefighters were kept busy Saturday responding two different residential structural fires in a few-hour time span.
About 6:09 p.m., the Buckhannon Fire Department was paged out along with Washington District Volunteer Fire Company, Adrian Volunteer Fire Department and Ellamore Fire Department to Bailey Ridge Road for a fully-engulfed structure fire, according to career firefighter Linn Baxa. Company 4 from Elkins Fire Department covered the Buckhannon Fire Department while firefighters were on scene.
The fire ended up being at 145 Seminole Trail, off of Bailey Ridge Road. The homeowner was not home at the time the fire occurred.
The structure was already burned when the first firefighters arrived on scene.
Career firefighter Tanner Smith said the firefighters returned to station at 9:19 p.m.
