Christmas Day fire destroys Benson home

BENSON — A fire late on Christmas Day displaced two adults and destroyed an old home on Stage Road.
Benson Fire Chief Tom Neumann said Tuesday that firefighters were called shortly after 10 p.m. for a chimney fire at a residence that had spread into the walls.
“By the time we arrived on scene there was heavy fire from the back side of the residence,” said Neumann. “By the time we had laid our first hose line, it had spread up into the roof. It was a very fast-moving fire, so it quickly went to an exterior attack, because it was unsafe to put anybody inside to fight it.”
