This two-story house at 2319 Union City Road burned to the ground early Sunday morning. The house was rented, but the occupant was not home when it burned, according to Major Butch Kirby of the Madison County Fire Department. The department was called at 11:21 p.m. Saturday, and the structure’s rear was fully engulfed in flames when fire fighters arrived, he said. They entered from the front and were able to extinguish the fire on the first floor but not the second. Fearing that the structure would collapse, the firefighters withdrew and concentrated on saving a nearby garage, Kirby said. No one was injured in the fire.
