The Arnoldsburg and Upper West Fork VFD responded to the 3:50 a.m. call along US 33-119 between Liberty Hill and the Calhoun-Roane line.

Firemen said the structure was fully involved when a motorist discovered the blaze and called 911.

Firemen were unable to get trucks across a wooden bridge.

King, who lived in the dwelling, died last year. The structure was apparently unoccupied.
