West Iredell Fire Department personnel, along with the Troutman and Monticello firefighters, were dispatched to a report of a structure fire on Sharon School Road about 3:31 a.m. Wednesday.

West Iredell units arrived at the scene of a single-story structure with fire showing from the attic vents on both side of the structure. A working fire was transmitted and Stony Point Fire Department, along with Iredell County EMS and Rescue Squad, were added to the alarm.

An aggressive interior attack by firefighters, who pulled the ceilings and got water on the fire in the attic, contained the fire to the attic saving the rest of the home from fire.

West Iredell Fire Department Chief Jerry Houston was in command of the operation, which involved 20 personnel from all agencies. 

The fire appears to have started on the exterior of the structure. The Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause.

No injuries were reported. The Red Cross was notified to assist the displaced family.
