The Terrell Volunteer Fire Department was first dispatched to the home on County Road 279 at 11:25 a.m., according to Kaufman County Fire Marshal Randy Richards. The Kaufman Fire Department and the College Mound Volunteer Fire Department responded as mutual aid.
When firefighters arrived approximately 15 minutes later, the home was fully engulfed in flames and firefighters took a defensive approach to the fire, according to Kaufman County Deputy Fire Marshal Chad Woosley. The home was powered but not being lived in at the time of the fire.
The home was completely destroyed in the fire — leaving two chimney stacks standing amidst the smoldering rubble.
No injuries were reported but Woosley says the department is investigating the cause of the fire.
This is a developing story.
