Five people displaced by home fire early Tuesday

A woman and her adult son, along with three children, have been displaced by a fire that destroyed a three-bedroom motile home on Buttercup Court northeast of Granbury, according to Hood County Fire Marshal Jeff Young.

The fire call came in at about 12:15 a.m. today (Tuesday, Jan. 10). Another call, to put out a rekindle, was made later. The cause of the blaze is currently listed as undetermined, Young noted.

The adults included a mother and her son. The other three occupants were a 19-year-old male, a 15-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl. There were no injuries reported among the five occupants or the firefighters, Young added, although one pet cat died and another was missing.

The home was destroyed, and one of the adults indicated they had no home insurance. They were contacted by a representative of the American Red Cross for temporary housing arrangements. As of this afternoon, Young said he did not know if any donation fund is being set up to help the family with their immediate needs.
