Fire guts Marion home

Marion firefighters responded Thursday night to a house fire on Brook Street that left a home gutted. No one was reported injured in the blaze.

The fire occurred at the home of Mary Watson and apparently started around dusk. Firefighters continued to look for hot spots at 9:30 p.m., as neighbors and passersby gathered along the street to watch the happenings. 

A neighbor several homes away first called 911. She said the fire appeared to start near the front of the home.

Pick up next week's The Crittenden Press for detail on this an early morning fire today at a manufactured home in rural Crittenden County.
