Schuyler County home under renovation destroyed by blaze: Investigators say electrical box to blame

First responders from Schuyler County were called to an early morning fire on County Road 14. The home at that address was destroyed, but was under renovation at the time of the fire.

It happened during the early morning hours on New Years Eve.

The two-story wood frame home was vacant, but an electrical box malfunction in the basement caused the fire.
