Port LaBelle Home Destroyed By Fire

 

LABELLE, FL. -- A Sunday morning fire guts a Port LaBelle home at 4028 School Circle in Port LaBelle.

Home owners say they were wakened by smoke detectors and saw the house then quickly become engulfed in flames. They and two pet dogs were all able to get to safety.

The family is now staying across the street at a relative's house.

The home was a wood frame building, built in 1974 and a 2 bedroom, 2 bath with 888 square feet according to the county property appraiser. It has been owned by the current owners for seven years.

A relative said they think the fire began in the attic and the owners had insurance. Vehicles were destroyed, parked in the carport and the driveway. The cars were being towed away Tuesday morning.

The fire is under investigation.
