BARTLETT — No injuries were reported when a fire consumed an unoccupied home on Covered Bridge Lane late Sunday morning. The homeowner thanked firefighters for their hard work, especially considering below zero temperatures and the fact a major snowstorm had just arrived.
Social media posters listening to their scanners said the response was delayed by a few minutes when the Bartlett fire chief told dispatch the house fire was a controlled burn.
