A fire destroyed a remote home on Rocky Top Way on Monday morning, but no one was inside at the time, and the cause is under investigation.
An early morning fire on Monday destroyed a home on Rocky Top Way in Moriah, which was being rented by Elizabeth Schofield. The fire broke out around 7 a.m., but Schofield had left for work earlier that morning, and no one was inside. Moriah firefighters, along with mutual aid from neighboring fire departments, battled the blaze, which consumed the entire structure by the time they arrived. The fire was extinguished by 11 a.m., and while the cause is under investigation, officials have ruled it not suspicious. Schofield is receiving assistance from the American Red Cross and is temporarily housed until she can find a new place to live.
