West Fork and Fayetteville firefighters fought a fire around 12:20 p.m. Tuesday at 13451 S. Arkansas 170 in West Fork, said Mark Myers, West Fork fire chief.

A Washington County deputy saw smoke while on patrol, went to the home and awakened the homeowner to get the person out of the house, Myers said.

No one was injured in the blaze, but the home is close to a total loss, Myers said.

The 2,553-square-foot home is valued at roughly $182,000, according to county property records. Myers said one bedroom is completely destroyed and the house has smoke and water damage.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, Myers said. No further information was available Tuesday.
