BUNCOMBE COUNTY, N.C. -- An abandoned house burned to the ground in West Buncombe County early Tuesday morning.
Investigators tell News 13 they believe the fire was set intentionally.
Firefighters got the call just before 4 a.m., but when they arrived at 770 Olivette Road, the one-story farmhouse was already destroyed.
No one was injured and there is no word right now on what may have sparked the fire. Several nearby hay bales caught fire and had to be put out.
Investigators are asking for tips from anyone who may have seen anything related to the fire. If you have any information, contact the
Asheville-Buncombe Arson Task Force at 828-232-4547.
