TEXAS CITY—A house fire in the tiny community of Texas City, Illinois, just northeast of Eldorado in Saline County and just off U.S. Highway 45, consumed a residence this evening, January 16, 2014.
We are still gathering information on the fire, but officials at the scene have stated their opinion that the home is a total loss.
A coroner’s vehicle was reported at the scene early on, but it appears that it wasn’t there on account of a body, as there was no one injured in the blaze.
Here are some photos; we’ll have an update as soon as we can get it.
