A fire rekindled early Monday and destroyed a house on Burnt Bridge Road – the same location where Magnolia firefighters responded to an alarm on Sunday afternoon.
Also, a Sunday afternoon blaze consumed a mobile home on County Road 15.
The Magnolia Fire Department was dispatched to 921 Burnt Bridge Road at 5:45 a.m. Monday, and the first police officers on the scene reported that the house was fully engulfed. Firefighters first went to the house at 4:15 p.m. Sunday.
The house is down a dirt drive at 1005 Burnt Bridge, and can’t be seen from the street.
Magnolia Fire Chief Greg Pinner said Sunday that the fire apparently started from a malfunctioning air conditioner compressor. The house is owned by Andrew Pitts of Stephens. It was occupied, but the occupants were not home when the fire broke out.
