This house at 512 Martin Street in west Coleman was destroyed
by
fire Saturday night. 911 dispatch received the call at 10:43 p.m.
Residence Destroyed by Fire
Saturday Night
The walls are standing but
the inside and roof of the Pat Hill home at 512 Martin Street in Coleman are gone
and the house is a total loss. The Coleman Fire Department
arrived Saturday night to find fire leaping from the structure and spreading
through the home. Firemen saved a mobile home behind the house and also kept the
fire from spreading to other houses such as next door neighbor, Tom Mann. The
good news is the residents were able to escape unharmed and were put up in a
local motel for the rest of the night. According to Gary Payne with the
Coleman Fire Department, the possible cause of the fire was a BBQ pit which blew
over up against the house and caught it on fire. The fire department kept
personnel at the residence all night to put out hot spots and areas that flared
up again. The fire department still had a
truck at the scene at 10:00am Sunday.
