(Shelby, Iowa) A fire destroyed a house in rural Pottawattamie County on Saturday afternoon.
Avoca Fire Chief Drew Becker tells KSOM/KS95 News the call went out at 1:24 p.m. of a house fire at 410th Street, three-quarters of a mile south of Tamarack Road. “While en route to the scene, we could see heavy black smoke, and upon arrival, the house was fully involved in smoke and fire,” said Becker. “The house was deemed a total loss before we setup.”
Becker says no one was at home when the fire broke out. The Pottawattamie County Fire Investigation arrived on the scene to do their routine check.
Fire Departments from Avoca, Hancock, Minden, Shelby, and Walnut were at the scene.
