Chief Thaxton said firefighters battled the blaze for about three hours.
“It was a two-story home with an addition on the back side of the house,” he explained. “It was the time of day when we had enough to show up and Greenfield was there with mutual aid in just minutes.”
Chief Thaxton said some of the home was salvaged, but there was significant damage in the kitchen, the porch area and even the bedrooms.
He said the homeowners were out of state at the time of the fire and two family members came to the scene to help obtain some of the valuables left in the home.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but the Carrollton Fire Department is investigating.
