Three house fires in seven hours kept Huntsville Fire & Rescue crews busy Tuesday night.
The first fire broke out behind the refrigerator in a home on Baywood Drive just after 5:00 p.m. A neighbor called it in and it was contained quickly. No one was injured, but two adults and four children were displaced.
The next fire broke out just before 9:00 p.m. at a home on Gunnison Lane. Several neighbors called to report the fire. The home suffered extensive damage but no one was injured.
A third blaze that turned into a two alarm fire broke out just after midnight at a home on Glasgow Road. According to Huntsville Fire Captain Frank McKenzie, when crews arrived, the house was fully involved and an adjacent home was catching fire. Crews extinguished the house and a 10×20 shed in the backyard and protected the home next to it. Ultimately, the house was destroyed, but the home next store received only exterior damage. As with the other two fires, there were no injuries.
All of the fires are under investigation.
