HOUSE FIRE ON BUTTERNUT

DEVELOPING
Eaton Township – A fire ripped through a house in the 36000 block of Butternut Ridge Road this morning keeping Firefighters from 3 departments busy.

Chief Phil Slack of the Eaton Township Fire Department said when his crews arrived they found heavy fire coming from the west and rear sides of the home.

Firefighters from Columbia Station and Carlisle Township assisted Eaton with manpower and tankers.

A bank had taken over the home last fall and within the last couple months neighbors say someone had broken in and stolen all of the copper pipes.

The Lorain County Fire Investigators are on scene at this hour sifting through the rubble trying to determine a cause of the blaze.
