Firefighters from at least four area volunteer departments converged on the scene.
Dana Gillis, who had lived in the home up until earlier this month, was under eviction orders. She told the fire chief that while she was not living in the home any longer, she still had not moved all of her belongings out.
“Thank God we weren’t living in the house. We could have been in there, it could have been us that got hurt really bad,” Gillis said. “As far as I know, it could have been arson or electrical.”
