TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) — A rural Tippecanoe County home sits in a pile of ashes.

Crews responded to a structure fire call around 3:30 Friday morning just outside of Pyrmont. 

Buck Creek Fire Chief Nick Wagner told News 18 the home was occupied but all residents were able to make it out by the time crews arrived. 

Rossville Fire, Sheffield Fire, and Battle Ground Fire all assisted with the call. 

The Indiana State Fire Marshal is taking over the investigation as part of standard protocol.
