January 22, 2016 - The Shelbyville Volunteer Fire Department (SVFD) and Center Fire Department (CFD) battled the fire at the residence of Terry and Marissa Harper on CR 2554 Thursday, January 21, 2016.
When the SVFD arrived at the scene, the house was engulfed in flames and they requested the assistance of the CFD. As the CFD was en-route, the SVFD worked to extinguish the flames and prevent further spread of the fire to a neighboring workshop on the property.
Once the CFD arrived, the departments worked together to finish off the blaze; however, there was no saving the mobile home at that time.
A dog that was in the house perished as a result of the fire. The cause of the fire is suspected to have originated at an electrical outlet which is the vicinity where the fire began.
Firemen were able to retrieve some belongings from the house for the homeowner.
The firemen returned to the station at 3pm.
