VIDEO: One person was hospitalized after a fire ripped through a home in Troy Wednesday afternoon.
Multiple crews spent hours battling heavy flames at a residence along Barker Road. The Troy Fire Department was alerted of the fire around 1:30 p.m.
"There was a fire that started in one of the wood shops and then spread to the house and the house became fully involved, somebody noticed that it was up by the animals and called 911 and we responded to the scene," said Troy Fire Chief Chris Phillips.
Chief Philips says the house was fully involved when they got to the scene, but everyone was already out of the house.
He says the house was too unstable for firefighters to enter making it difficult to extinguish, resulting in a total loss.
