Several local fire departments responded Wednesday afternoon to a fire at an unoccupied home in north Washington County.

The Gay Hill and Prairie Hill Volunteer Fire Departments were called out just after 2:30 p.m. to the structure fire on Quarry Road, off Highway 36 North.

According to Gay Hill Volunteer Fire Chief Donald Schroeder, firefighters arrived to find a two-story wood-frame home fully involved.  The Berlin, Rocky Creek, and Somerville Volunteer Fire Departments were called for mutual aid.

Schroeder said the fire was controlled in 45 minutes, but firefighters spent four hours on scene.  The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
