Saturday Fire Levels Dry Branch Home

When firefighters arrived at the site of the 3:00 p.m. fire they found the one-story wood frame structure already on the ground.

 First Responders were the Macon County Sheriffs Office, Lafayette Fire Department, Macon County EMS, and the Macon County Chronicle.
