trudgeon house fire

A home owned by Ron and Teresa Hamilton was destroyed by fire late Sunday afternoon. According to Henryetta fire department, the blaze was reported by a person driving by around 6 p.m. The house located just east of Henryetta on Holly Road was said to be a total loss. Because there are no fire hydrants in the area, firemen had to enlist the help of Dewar, Schulter and Tiger Mountain fire departments who brought tankers to supply water. The cause is still under investigation.
