An two-story Aberdeen home under extensive renovation was destroyed by fire Monday night.
Just after 6 p.m. on Monday, emergency personnel were dispatched to the 300 block of Fords Lane in Aberdeen for the report of a dwelling fire in a two-story, single family home under renovation.
The home was gutted and under extensive renovation, and the fire was discovered by a family member who arrived to check on the home.
Forty firefighters from the Aberdeen Volunteer Fire Department responded to the single-alarm blaze and had it under control within 40 minutes.
The Office of the State Fire Marshal estimated the fire did $200,000 worth of damage to the structure. No injuries were reported.
The area of origin and preliminary cause remain under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Northeast Regional Office at 410-836-4844.
That’s very unfortunate.
