NASHVILLE, Ind. — A Brown County family lost their home and possessions in a fire on Three Story Hill Road around 3 a.m. Monday. There were no injuries but the family of six is now homeless.
The fire created several challenges for firefighters. The driveway was covered with ice so firefighters had to use 500 feet of hose to reach the fire. Extreme cold temperatures also hampered efforts. Departments from Jackson Township, Hamblen Township, Brown County, Fruitdale and Trafalgar fought the blaze.
