Home, Vehicle Destroyed in Winona-Area Fire

SMITH COUNTY — It took firefighters about an hour and a half to control a blaze that destroyed a Winona-area home and vehicle Monday afternoon. The fire broke out on Devonne Drive near the dead end of Landry Lane. There were no injuries, and luckily, nobody was in the house at the time. However, authorities tell KETK that at least one pet may have been killed in the fire. The cause of the fire is not clear at this time, though authorities say that it began on the right side of the house. Firefighters say that the high winds made it difficult to extinguish the fire.
