Friday Night Fire Destroys Unoccupied Home

COFFEEVILLE – Firefighters were called out around 11 p.m. Friday to a fire on County Road 212. The caller told the 911 dispatcher that there was a grass fire with a structure possibly in danger. When Coffeeville volunteers arrived on the scene they found an unoccupied house mostly consumed by fire. The Velma Fire Department was toned out to provide backup.

The Coffeeville Fire Department had been called earlier in the day to the same location for a brush fire. Upon arrival around 3 p.m. they found a controlled burn.
