The home was several feet away from the garage. According to Fire Chief Bobby Brown the garage was owned by Kyle Yost. " We suspect the fire may have been caused by a heat lamp, to keep a pig warm. The pig was just brought home last night, and did not make it out of the fire," said Fire Chief Brown.
