A family of 10 from Florida vacationing in White County had their trip ruined when fire broke out at the cabin where they were staying.
White County Public Safety Director David Murphy said White County Fire Station 6 was dispatched Saturday morning around 10:30 to investigate a report of smoke in the area of Little Bear Court and Gold Flume Way.
Murphy said when the engine arrived, crews they found a rental cabin fully involved in fire on Little Bear Court. At that point, Cleveland Fire Department crews were dispatched to assist with the fire. Eight firefighters spent approximately five hours on scene keeping the blaze from spreading and shuttling water to the scene, according to Murphy.
Murphy said the cabin was destroyed in the fire. No injuries were reported. The American Red Cross was called to assist the family.
The fire is under investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s Office.
