UPDATE on Structure Fire in Oxford

UPDATE from Breaking News Article

Per Oxford Spokeswoman, Lorie Denton, on Friday, January 21 at 10:22AM the Oxford Fire Department received a structure fire call to 130 Snow Street in Oxford. This is the business location of Hurt House of Photography owned by Danny Hurt.
The Oxford Fire Department arrived on the scene at 10:24AM.

The structure was a 3,000 square foot house with a basement, first floor, second floor and a full
attic. The structure was constructed in 1910 out of heavy pine timbers and tongue and groove ceilings. There were multiple roofs under a metal roof which caused firefighters problems accessing the fire in the attic. The house received heavy fire damage to the second floor as well as the attic, and sustained heavy smoke and water damage throughout the house. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time. Oxford Fire responded with an entire shift due to the size of the structure and cold weather. This required the department to call in additional personnel to cover other calls during this time.

On behalf of the Oxford Fire Department, thank you to the many bystanders that provided us drinks, and to our fellow city departments for their assistance: Oxford Police, Oxford Health System Paramedics, and the Oxford Performing Arts Center.
