New Marion and Versailles VFD called to the scene

Versailles and Friendship Firefighters responded to a working structure fire on the 5000 block of County Road 400W late Tuesday evening to assist New Marion VFD .

Nobody was home at the time and there were no injuries.

A cause of the fire remains under investigation, according to New Marion Volunteer Fire Department Chief Charlie Meisberger. It is not believed to be suspicious in nature.

Meisberger said the extra help was good to have considering the recent heat wave and the high temperatures’ effect on firefighters. Crews remained on the scene putting out hot spots until about 4:00 a.m. on July 4.

Osgood VFD was called for stand-by in Versailles.
