January 16, 2016 - Firemen with the Huxley Volunteer Fire Department (VFD), Shelbyville VFD, and Center Fire Department responded to a house fire on FM 3184 Sunday, January 10, 2016 at around 4pm to find the home engulfed in flames.
The firemen worked to extinguish the fire at the residence of Bill Faust; however, the home could not be saved and the house was a total loss.
Shelbyville VFD firemen responded to the same home on the previous night January 9, 2016 at 8:34pm. It was reported a cat in the home had knocked a candle off of a table, which lit drapes on fire and damaged a wall at the front of the home. The Faust's were able to extinguish the fire before it got out of control and firemen used a fan to ventilate the home of smoke.
A cause for the fire on the following day could not be determined at the time of the fire on January 10.
