The 5-bedroom brick home caught fire Saturday morning around 9 off of Private Road 3471. This is off of Highway 80 between Cherry road and Hickory road, between Gladewater and Big Sandy. Authorities tell us a neighbor called in the fire.

Fire crews from Gladewater, Big Sandy, Pritchett, West Mountain and Clarksville/Warren City responded to the scene. Officials say about 75% of the home is destroyed.
