Firefighters responded Monday night to a house fire in Ridgefield that reportedly burned a home-based butcher business.
Firefighters responded shortly after 8 p.m. to a report of a house fire at 1170 S. Hillhurst Road. Stephenson Meat Cutting’s Facebook page says the business is based at that address.
According to emergency radio traffic monitored at The Columbian, firefighters arrived to find flames shooting from the roof of a medium-size, two-story house.
Radio traffic also indicated the original caller, who did not live at the home, thought everyone inside had gotten out or were not home when the fire started.
County records list Marie A. Stephenson as the property owner.
