The State Fire Marshal believes an arsonist is to blame for a house fire in Silverhill.
The fire on County Road 55 started before 9:00 a.m. Firefighters from four agencies (Silverhill, Loxley, Robertsdale, Fish River-Marlow) responded, but there was not anything they could do to save the home.
Witnesses reported hearing explosions. The intense heat caused ammo in a gun safe to explode.
Heather Bishop says her father-in-law built the house. She and her husband are heartbroken.
As of 12 noon, firefighters were still on scene putting out hot spots.
