STARKE— A Friday night structure fire in the Heilbron Springs area forced Clay Electric to cut power to 1,685 homes in Bradford County.
The outage lasted from 6:55 p.m. to 7:19 and was in response to a structure fire at 6891 NW 204th Terrace.
Bradford County Fire Chief Ben Carter said the vacant home was fully engulfed in flames when fire and medic units arrived.
He added that a power line near the home was arcing which prompted the county to request the power cut-off to the area.
Carter described damage to the home as a total loss.
“It basically burned to the ground,” he said.
Carter added that no one was injured during the incident and that he did not know the cause of the blaze.
The fire was reported to 911 by a neighbor.
