Frenchtown Rural Fire District spokesman Mel Holtz says crews responded to reports of a fully involved structure fire on West Fork Petty Creek Road at around 5 a.m.
Frenchtown firefighters along with a water tender and structure engine from the Missoula Rural Fire District were able to suppress the flames. No one was injured, but Holtz reports the home is a total loss.
The preliminary inspection indicated that the blaze may have been started by an electrical problem but Holtz said the investigation is still underway.
