Local firefighters responded to a house fire around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 29, 2016, after a call was received at the 911 Dispatch Center. Acorn Volunteer Fire Department was initially called to the home and received mutual aid from Mena Fire Department, Ink Volunteer Fire Department, and Polk County Emergency Management.
The home, located on Polk 177 near Acorn, was fully involved in the attic area upon arrival to the scene. The house was used as a rental, however, the residents had recently moved. The wood structure home was not a complete loss. About one-fourth of the home was lost and the rest suffered smoke and water damage.
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
