Fire Destroys Former Carol Chicken Residence Between Sheridan and Grant City

High winds led to a trash fire burning out of control and destroying the former Carol Chicken residence between Sheridan and Grant City early Wednesday afternoon. At 11:51 Wednesday, the Grant City Fire Department was dispatched to the structure fire 4 miles west of Grant City. First units were enroute at 11:57 and on the scene at 12:03 p.m. The fire was controlled at 1:15 and all units were back in service at 2:29 p.m. They were assisted by the Sheridan Fire Department, the Worth County Ambulance District, and the Worth County Sheriff's Department. The Worth County Fire Auxiliary provided water and food for the firefighters.

Fire Chief Ben Fletcher said that the fire spread from a trash fire to a tree to a shed to the structure. Nobody was living at the house and there were no injuries.
