Multiple fire departments were dispatched to a structure fire in McCalmont Township of Jefferson County early Sunday morning.
According to the Punxsy Spirit a McCalmont Township volunteer firefighter was injured while battling the fully involved structure fire that completely destroyed a house located along Highland Park Road.
McCalmont Township fire chief, Orrie Manners said no one had lived in the home for some time. He said the owners had been renting it out but the previous tenants had moved out a year ago.
