A Taylor home is no longer habitable after being engulfed by flames.
At 8:59 a.m. Tuesday, March 8, the Taylor Fire Department rushed to a house fire in the 900 block of James Street. There were no injuries and no one inside during the blaze, which extensively damaged the building, officials said.
“The structure was fully involved with fire venting through the roof upon our arrival,” said Chief Daniel Baum. “The homeowners arrived at the house after firefighting efforts began.”
As blustery winds fanned the flames, firefighters fought to keep the fire from spreading to neighboring homes.
“It took approximately an hour to extinguish the bulk of the fire, but overhaul operations continued until nearly 1 p.m.,” said Baum. “The Taylor Fire Department was assisted by the Hutto Fire Department and Round Rock Fire Department.”
The cause of the conflagration remains under investigation.
