HARRISTOWN -- Fire nearly destroys a house in Macon County. Crews were called to a home in the 700-block of South Moyer Road.

Residents heard a clicking sound near the water heater closet. When they opened it, smoke and flames erupted. One used a fire extinguisher while the other called 911. Four fire departments responded.

The fire caused damage to the floor and walls. No one was hurt. The Red Cross is assisting the family.
