Fire Destroys Milton Home; Two Firefighters Released from Hospital



By: WSAZ News Staff Email
Two firefighters have been released from the hospital after suffering heat exhaustion while fighting a house fire.

The home on Morris Court in Milton is now a total loss.

Firefighters say the fire started in the back of the house, and is not being deemed suspicious.

They say the family had just left the house within 20 minutes before the fire started, Saturday afternoon.

The American Red Cross has been called in to help the family.

Firefighters say the fire was tough to fight because the closest hydrant was about a mile away, and they had to shuttle water back and forth.
