Firemen from Kirbyville and three other departments battled a large house fire for some time on Thursday before finally bringing it under control. The firefighters and other emergency crews were dispatched to the location shortly before noon when it was reported that the single-story structure located at the intersection of South Elizabeth and Doel Bean Street, just east of the Kirbyville High School was on fire. What caused the fire is unknown. However, no injuries resulted from the incident. There is no word on who was living in the house. However, tax records indicate that the property was owned by the Jean McDaniel Estate.
