A fire at a Fountaintown home could have been much worse Sunday.
Fountaintown Volunteer Fire Department Chief Dean Tyner says they received the call to respond to 21 East Brookville Road just after 8:30 p.m. A fire damaged a privacy fence and shed between the home and nearby apartments. It then went up the siding of the home and damaged the home into the roof and into an enclosed lean-to built onto the back of the home.
Tyner said the department's quick response helped to contain the damage to the home. Fountaintown received aid from Sugar Creek, Morristown, Greenfield and Shelbyville.
No word on a cause at this time as the fire remains under investigation. According to Shelby County GIS, the property is owned by Michael and Marcia Coates.
There were no injuries reported.
