(Feb. 9, 2017) The Snow Hill Volunteer Fire Company responded to 4741 Snow Hill Road — a few hundred feet from the station — around 7 p.m. on Tuesday for a house fire.
Girdletree and Newark Fire companies also provided assistance, according to Trey Heiser, Snow Hill fire chief.
The house was occupied at the time of the fire, Heiser said, but no injuries of residents or firefighters were reported, he said.
Though the cause is still under investigation, Heiser said he believed the fire began as a result of cooking.
The house is unable to be occupied at this time, Heiser said.
