The Greene County Sheriff’s office is investigating a structure fire that happened early this morning.

Sheriff Steve Haupert says at 3:29am, a neighbor reported a farm house fire at 2012 110th Street, north of Paton.  When deputies and the Paton and Grand Junction Fire departments arrived on scene, the home was fully engulfed in flames.  It was determined that the building had been vacant for over 20 years, and so when the fire was contained, Haupert adds that they let it collapse into the basement.  The home is owned by Loise Anderson.

No one was hurt in the incident and Haupert notes that they are going back to the scene today to investigate what caused the fire.  Crews were on the scene for almost three hours this morning.
