SCOTTOWN, Ohio (WSAZ)—Firefighters from 6 departments battled a huge house fire near Scottown in Lawrence County, Ohio earlier today.

The fire was at 339 County Road 67. The house itself was about 1/2 mile down a gravel road off the main road. The fire was reported around 8:00am.

It took firefighters about an hour and a half to bring the fire under control. We're told one of the big problems was a lack of water to fight the fire.

Firefighters tried to save numerous items from inside the house, but the fire got too hot and those efforts had to be called off.

Firefighters believe the fire started in the back of the house. The house was destroyed.

No one was home when the fire started. There were no injuries.
