Karl Klotz took in a house fire last night in Frankfort.
From Karl:
House fire in Frankfort last night, 5/23/2012. Frankfort FPD box alarm for the house fire at 8303 Brickstone in Frankfort. Companies arrived to find a 2-story house well involved and communicating to the house to the west.
The Herald-News reports that:
The cause of a fire that destroyed a Frankfort home early Thursday is still under investigation.
Crews were called to the two-story house in the 8300 block of Brickstone Drive at about 11:48 p.m. Wednesday and found the home engulfed in flames, Frankfort Fire Battalion Chief Nick Peters said.
Firefighters had the fire under control within 45 minutes, but the home was a total loss, Peters said.
The fire also caused some exterior damage to the house next door, as well as natural gas leaks in both homes, according to Peters.
