PEOPLE WATCH FIRE DESTROY HOME IN DELTA

DELTA -- People for several miles around Delta could see the fire that leveled a home early Friday morning about three miles southeast of town.

Delta Fire Protection District Chief Alvin Frank Jr. said crews were called to the home of Randy Davis about 1:30 a.m. He said the home two miles off Highway EE on County Road 264 was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

A firefighter said he could see the blaze from Dutchtown, about seven miles north of the home.

Frank refused to speculate about the cause of the blaze which also destroyed a nearby shed.

Davis wasn't at home at the time of the fire.
