Eagle Crest Fires Purportedly Caused From Bark Dust

Fire investigators say the fires that damaged two Eagle Crest homes Sunday evening, started in bark dust.  They believe the fire spread to a deck and then to the homes. The homes on Cliff Swallow Drive sustained $340,000 worth of damage. Scott McKittrick rented one of the homes and told our news partner, News Channel 21, his immediate thought upon seeing the flames: “The biggest thing that's going through my mind is that everything I value, that I’ve collected over the years is gone.” The first started around 7:30 Sunday night and was under control within an hour and a half. Ddue to the extensive damage, investigators weren't able to determine what ignited the bark dust.
