    A passerby phoned in a house fire in Cape Fair on Oct. 22.

    Firefighters from Southern Stone County Fire District were called to Fossil Cove Road shortly after 3 p.m. when a passerby saw smoke and flames coming from a structure. 

    The first engine reported heavy fire showing from the windows of the one-story home. 

    Crews made an aggressive interior attack and brought the fire under control without any injuries.

    Crews from Northern Stone Fire provided assistance at the scene.
