Although the basic structure was saved, thanks to firefighters' efforts, a local family is in need after a house fire in the 600 block of Henry Meredith Road.

The Wingfield, Chalybeate, Rocky Hill, and Brownsville Fire Departments responded around 5pm on January 31, 2018 to what was first paged out as a field fire with burning hay. According to emergency radio traffic, the call was updated to inform that the field fire had now spread to the house.

For the most part, firefighters were able to keep the structure standing but most everything inside was lost of heavily damaged from smoke and water.
