SOUTH POINT, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Firefighters from multiple departments responded to a house fire Friday night at a log home valued at nearly $500,000 and located along County Road 15, also known as Lick Creek Road, in Lawrence County.
The home was destroyed but firefighters managed to keep it from spreading to an adjacent garage.
The owners of the log cabin weren't at home when the fire started. There were no initial reports of any injuries, but County Road 15 was closed as crews had to haul water up the hill to fight the fire.
No word yet on what started the fire.

My husband is both paid and volunteer and it really doesnt matter which you are the fact that you do what you do for your community is what matters. These peoples loss is great and sad and for Julio..you said something about would you want a volunteer doctor doing surgery on you? well of course not so are we safe in assuming that if your house catches fire you will ask for I.D. before you let someone put it out to make sure they are union, or would you be grateful to the people who risk their lives out of the pure love for humanity and and selflessness of endangering their lives for FREE to save lives of others even people like you?

Hello all, including Julio. Being a volunteer firefighter, I can tell you paid or volunteer it is all the same. We fight everyday for better funding, better equipment, and better training facilities. Most of our departments in Law Co are fortunate enough, to be able to get much needed grant monies from the federal government to get new equipment and training. This helps make it possible to protect the citizens of our communities, without raising the tax rate. Thanks to President Bush this money will no longer be available to us. http://www.fireengineering.com/articles/article_display.html?id=247840 As far as this fire or the one the nite before, it is hard for us whether we are paid, or volunteer to save any home or business if we are alerted to respond when over 60% of the building is already engulfed in flames. I challenge any resident of Lawrence County who thinks that they can do a better job of protecting life and property as a firefighter to stand up and meet the challenge.
