Through the Roof

Battling dangerous elements like high winds and frigid temperatures of 17 degrees, Floyd Twp. Fire and Rescue officials were called out early Monday morning to a working house fire at 2916 N.

The house, which was being remodeled, was reportedly empty. A second alarm was called due to aid with water needs. Floyd Twp. firefighters were assisted by Greencastle, Fillmore, Madison Twp., Jefferson Twp., Clinton Twp. and Roachdale fire departments.
