Fillmore FD, multiple agencies respond to house fire

The Fillmore Fire Department and several surrounding departments were busy Sunday evening responding to a single story residence fire. 
According to Fillmore Fire Captain Darrell Bunten, firefighters found flames showing through the roof at 5801 East County Road 100 North, Fillmore. 

"At the time of the call, there were two people inside the home who evacuated unharmed," Bunten told The Putnam County Post. 

The fire compromised the roof, forcing firefighters to pull out of the interior of the house at one point. Duke Energy was called to the scene, as was the Indiana State Fire Marshal's office.

"The cause of the fire is undetermined and under investigation with the assistance of the State Fire Marshal's Office," Bunten said. 

The American Red Cross is assisting the home owner and the house was declared a total loss.
