A fire that apparently started in a carport burned a home on the south end of 5th Avenue Thursday evening.
The fire was reported by a resident just before 7:30 p.m.
Sweet Home Fire and Ambulance District Battalion Chief Eli Harris said a carport attached to the north side of the house at 465 5th Ave., bordering the driveway connecting Oak Heights School with 5th Avenue, was “completely engulfed in flames” when firefighters got there.
