Fire Damages Coffee County Home

On Sunday Coffee County deputies and the New Union Volunteer Fire Department responded to a house fire at 133 Red Bud Circle. The man at the home told deputies that the power was turning off and on in the neighborhood for over an hour due to a transformer going out. When the power came back on he heard a load popping noise coming from the laundry room and within a matter of a few minutes he started seeing smoke coming from the wall and then it caught on fire.
The homeowner told deputies he values his loss at least $30,000 for the damage to his laundry room in his residence.
