A fire Monday consumed a home in southern Jack County.

Firemen were dispatched to the scene of a structure fire approximately 4 miles west of Perrin on FM 2210 at about 4:45 p.m. Monday.

Jacksboro fireman Jason Jennings said the homeowner was in the house when it started.

“He was sitting in his living room when he heard a noise,” Jenning said. “He saw the back room was on fire.”
