State Fire Marshal Investigating After Fire Heavily Damages Bratt Home

April 3, 2018

The cause of a fire that heavily damaged a home in Bratt Tuesday afternoon is under investigation.

Flames were erupting several feet into the air from the attic of the concrete block home and the attic was fully involved before the first fire engine  arrived on scene.

A family had reportedly moved out of the home last week and someone else was about to move into the home. The fire appeared to have started in the attic, but the exact cause is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.

There were no injuries reported in the 3:05 p.m. fire.
