Cullman home receives ‘heavy damage’ from Saturday fire By Trent Moore The Cullman Times Cullman Fire Marshal Chris Chaffin has yet to determine the cause of a fire that occurred late Saturday morning at a two-story home, located at the corner of Avenue H Southeast and 10th Street Southeast.
“It’s undetermined,” he said. “We couldn’t really see exactly what caused it.” Chaffin said the home suffered significant damage from the blaze. “There was heavy damage,” he said. “The second floor suffered a lot of heat and fire damage and the first floor had a lot of water damage.” The fire likely began in the upstairs part of the home, Chaffin said. “It appeared to start in the master bedroom,” he said. The fire was likely not an act of arson, Chaffin said, noting there are just too many variables to come to a solid conclusion. “I couldn’t rule everything out, so we’re just calling it undetermined,” he said. “It doesn’t seem suspicious in nature.” Sabina Crocker, who had lived in the home since July with her two sons, said all of her family’s belongings were essentially a total loss. “We’re still getting some stuff out, what we can salvage,” she said. “But, it seems like we lost basically everything.” In the interim, Crocker said she and her family are staying with loved ones. “It’s getting better,” she said. “We’re staying with family and friends with a house in town. We’ll stay there while we figure out what we’re going to do next.” No one was injured during the fire, which was extinguished by Cullman Fire and Rescue.
