Officials at the department told news784 that they had to solicit the use of one fire tender from the Argyle International Airport to help quell the inferno. The two storey home is the property of 60 year old Steven DaSilva of New Montrose.
The upper section of the building was completely destroyed, however fire fighters say they were able to save the bottom section which is currently being rented to Justin DaSilva as a store room.
Misleading information via a Facebook post had suggested that bandits were responsibly for burning a 4 bedroom home in New Montrose, claiming everything was destroyed in the fire.
Authorities say an investigation into the cause of the fire is on going .
