Roger Johnson is out there again!

Roger Johnson sent in this picture of a residential fire in east side of Columbus, IN. On a hot day like it was on Sunday, 10 departments from  Bartholomew, Jennings, Decatur Counties responded. From the looks of the one picture, it looks like real trouble. More to follow.

NEWLY BUILT HOME DESTROYED IN WEEKEND FIRE
70 firefighters fought a fire in newly built home for over 6 hours Sunday. The home, which the owners Doug Osborne and his wife just moved into in March, was destroyed when an ashtray was emptied into a trash can on the back porch. Officials estimated 500 thousand dollars in damage to the house on Bartholomew County Road 200 south near Rockcreek Elementary. (From Columbus radio web site qmix.com)
