Officials say a Clark County home was destroyed by fire early Monday morning.

Clark County Fire Chief Ernie Barnes said his department was called to 6266 Ecton Road around 5:45 a.m. Monday.

When crews arrived, the left side of the home was on fire.

“There was a car at the back of the house,” Barnes said. “We weren’t sure if there was someone in there or not. We acted as though there were people inside. We initiated a search and a fire attack.”

Crews were able to determine there was no one in the home at the time through a secondary search.

“Later, a neighbor came by and said the family also has a van,” Barnes said. “We weren’t able to make contact with the family, but we are assuming they were out together in that vehicle.”

Crews from Clark County Fire and Winchester Fire-EMS were on scene about three and a half hours Monday morning, Barnes said.

“There was extreme fire damage to the left side of the structure, which was a double-wide mobile home,” Barnes said. “There was smoke and fire damage throughout. It’s probably not going to be salvageable.”

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
