A rural Cowley County home was damaged by a fire that occurred Wednesday afternoon.
Cowley County Rural Fire District 4 was dispatched at 3:25 p.m. for a structure fire at 2570 82nd rd.
Firefighters arrived to find a fire in the attic, entered the home and pulled the ceilings to put out the blaze. The fire was contained to the roof and attic area but the main floor had water damage, according to a Udall fire official.
The house is owned by Jack Loveall.
Investigators believe the fire started when part of a metal roof on the back porch detached due to wind and struck a power line. That caused arcing and sparks.
Winfield Fire, Mulvane Fire and Sumner Fire District 9 from Belle Plaine also responded.
It was the third structure fire fought by the Udall fire department in a 24-hour period.
