On the morning of Wednesday, July 4th, fire units were called to the home of Robert Morrow on the west end of Sheridan at around 1 am. More fire trucks came to the scene at around 2 am and remained until 4 am.
However, the fire flared up again in the morning and Sheridan and Grant City units came out and battled the blaze until about 1 pm. They succeeded in getting the fire extinguished. The house was too far gone to be salvageable, and the rest of the structure was brought down in a controlled burn Sunday.
Sheridan Fire Chief Tyler Paxson said, "I'm very proud of the guys on our department; they do good work with what equipment we have. We are able to get done what needs to be done with half the workforce of people it should take. That being said, we are always looking for volunteers. Also, a big thanks for our big brother next door, the Worth County Fire Protection District out of Grant City; if it weren't for them we would have exhausted our little workforce. Thanks to anyone who helped in anyway!”
