UPDATE: Grass fire spread to home in Osceola

Posted:

A grass fire spread to a home on the 53,000 block of Buckeye in Osceola Wednesday.

Authorities say the homeowner was burning a debris pile yesterday that believed was out Tuesday night.  When the winds started back up Wednesday morning, the fire spread to the house.

A baby and a nanny were inside the house when the fire started.  The nanny called 911.  The homeowners say they didn't know there was a burn ban in effect, because they travel a lot. 

No one was injured in the fire.  The Clay Fire Chief says they have yet to assess the damage completely, but the damage is not minor.
