‘There’s nothing left’ says chief after Columbia County fire

BRIAR CREEK TOWNSHIP, COLUMBIA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— A home in Columbia County was destroyed by a fire early Wednesday morning.

First responders say they were called to a working house fire on Loop Road, Briar Creek Township, around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Chief Craig Fisher with the Summer Hill Fire Company said the police department is near the home so officers got to the house within a minute and reported a heavily involved house fire.

By the time the fire department got to the house, Chief Fisher said part of the house had already collapsed.

The fire had a good head start on the fire department according to Chief Fisher, but both residents were able to get out of the home safely.

No one was injured in the fire, but according to Chief Fisher, “there is nothing left of the house.”

The fire department also said two cars near the house were also damaged. One was totaled and the other had significant damage.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, but Chief Fisher says the fire was not suspicious.
