CALLOWAY COUNTY â Calloway County FIre-Rescue Chief Tommy Morgan said a house fire early Monday morning left the structureâs occupant seeking another place to call home.
Morgan said CCFR was called to a residence on Hico Road, about 11 miles east of Murray, at about 2:45 Monday morning and found half of an 1,800-square-foot, single-story house on fire. He said firefighters did manage to keep half of the house standing, but the other half was damaged to the point that the roof almost collapsed to the ground.
âWhen you donât have access to water at the site and you have to make several trips, it gets a little tough to keep water on it the whole time, so we had to battle that some, but we did a good job I think,â Morgan said of how the property did not have a hydrant, meaning trucks had to continuously leave the scene and reload water supplies.
