NORTH BEND -- Fire crews from throughout Clinton County were called to battle an early morning blaze at 159 Snyder St. in Chapman Township Thursday.
Crews were called to the scene at 6:26 a.m., with flames so hot it caused the siding from a nearby home to visibly melt.
According to Chapman Township Fire Chief Bear Kelley, he arrived to the scene at 6:33 a.m. and called for a second alarm when he could see the glow a mile away.
With the main structure fully engulfed, Kelley said crews worked to save a second structure -- with the flames burning so hot it began to melt the siding.
The single occupant of the structure was not injured, Kelley said.
Despite its remote location, Kelley said trucking water to the area was not an issue with multiple tanker trucks within the area assisting in the efforts.
Firefighters remained on the scene until 10:16 a.m. The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
Fire stations that responded to the incident included Chapman Township/North Bend, South Renovo Citizens Hose, Renovo Emerald, Kettle Creek/Cross Fork, Lock Haven Citizens Hose, Beech Creek/Blanchard, Dunnstown, Flemington Goodwill Hose, Woolrich and Avis.
