Crews respond to 2nd afternoon house fire in north Jackson

NORTH JACKSON — Crews responded to a house fire in north Jackson Thursday afternoon shortly after fighting another fire in a nearby neighborhood.

Fire officials say the fire has been extinguished at the Stratford Lane home and that no one was injured.

However, a pet pit bull did not survive.

They say the home is not a total loss and has mostly interior damage.

A juvenile was reportedly playing outside and saw smoke coming from the home.

Firefighters believe the blaze originated from a computer inside the house.

They do not consider it suspicious at this time.
