Just after 6:30 pm Sunday, Caney Creek Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire on FM 3083 across from Ben Milam School. They arrived to find an abandoned wood frame house fully involved. FM 3083 was closed as additional tankers arrived from Porter and EMC Fire Departments. The structure was destroyed. The Montgomery County Fire Marshals Office will investigate to determine a cause.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
Scott Engle and Jamie Nash are Montgomery County residents and veteran law enforcement / breaking news reporters, who met covering a law enforcement story and have covered multiple counties, with Scott as a television videographer for multiple local stations and national networks, and Jamie as newspaper / magazine / online reporter.

Looks like those asbestos siding shingles were doing their job. You can burn the whole house down and they will still be standing.
