The Greencastle Fire Department was busy this morning after receiving a call of a structure fire.

According to fire chief Rob Frank, firefighters were dispatched just before 6 am for a structure fire call. Upon arrival, crews found a 

two story residential structure with heavy fire showing from the rear windows of the house. 

“Crews quickly knocked the fire down and went interior. Search was completed and no one was found inside the structure. Once the fire was extinguished, overhaul was conducted and an investigation was completed,” Frank told The Putnam County Post.

The fire was accidental and the cause was undetermined. According to Frank, there were no injuries, all occupants made it out but a dog did perish in the fire. 

The Greencastle Fire Department was assisted on scene by GPD, PCEMS, Cloverdale Fire, Madison Fire and Reelsville Fire. Bainbridge and Fillmore Fire covered Greencastle’s station.
