Fire in the county has rendered the second home in one week a total loss.
A house at 159 Oakdale Drive in Zelienople caught fire Thursday, April 13, evening as the homeowner burned yard waste in a portable fire pit on the patio attached to the rear of the house, according to Scott Garing, Harmony Fire District chief.
Garing said the home is unhabitable because a large section of the roof and walls are missing, and the contents of the house were destroyed by heat, smoke and water.
Garing initially said the siding, structure and yard caught on fire.
