A house was destroyed by fire in Hemphill early Wednesday morning. It happened shortly before 7:00 at 720 Mann Street, about 3 blocks south of the Courthouse Square. According to Hemphill Fire Chief Glenn Chance, it was a very old house that was constructed with pine wood, which resulted in the flames quickly spreading and consuming the structure.
