Family’s home burns down days before Thanksgiving in Fort Worth

A family of three was displaced days before Thanksgiving when their house caught fire in Fort Worth on Tuesday afternoon.

The fire started at about 11:15 a.m. in the 8700 block of Golden Sunset Trail, where firefighters found heavy fire in the garage and attic of the two-story house, fire department spokesman Mike Drivdahl said.

The roof of the house was already compromised and firefighters had to get out of the house.

At 12:15 p.m., crews were working on extinguishing the fire from outside the home.

No one was injured in the fire, but the house may be a total loss, Drivdahl said.
