No One Was
In Residence

At The Time

Staff Writer

A Mohawk residence was destroyed by a fire of undetermined origin early this morning.

The fire at 2240 Mt. Hope Road was reported to the Sheriff's Department at 3:35 a.m., said Deputy Sheriff Roy Milton.

Anthony Morrison, a Midway Volunteer Fire Department firefighter who responded to fire, said firefighters found the two-story frame residence "fully engulfed" in flames.

"It was just about on the ground when we got there," Morrison said.

The occupants of the house, whose names he did not learn, were not at home when the fire broke out, Morrison said.

Morrison said the Midway VFD sent a tanker truck and two firefighters to the scene while the McDonald VFD responded to the blaze with three trucks and a number of firefighters.

Water had to be hauled in tanker trucks from a fire hydrant at Mt. Hope United Methodist Church, Morrison said.

Also responding to the fire were Sheriff's Sgt. Terry Rader, a Greene County-Greeneville Emergency Medical Services ambulance and a disaster services unit from the Greene County Chapter of the American Red Cross.

A Sheriff's Department report about the fire had not been filed as of this morning.
