Early morning fire destroys home

The residence of Cecil Adcock had burned to the ground when Volunteer Fire Services Inc. personnel arrived shortly before 5 a.m. Firefighters concerned about possible victims were relieved when Adcock arrived.

VFSI personnel said the blaze's cause is unknown.

*Sparks ignited a fire at SST, North Jefferson Street, late Saturday night.

"The owner said he'd cut metal with a power saw earlier Saturday," Inspector Brian Nicholson of the Shelbyville Fire Department said. "The fire originated on a wooden table nearby. Sparks from the fire ignited the table."

Light smoke hovered outside the building when firefighters arrived about 11:30, Nicholson said.

"We forced entry and found heavy smoke smoldering. There was about 10 percent damage to the building."
