DARLINGTON — No injuries were reported from a house fire north of Darlington Monday afternoon, July 22, but a house cat died in the fire.

The Darlington Fire Department responded at about 1:05 p.m. to the fire at 18990 Furnace Hill Road, Town of Willow Springs, according to the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office. No one was home at the time.

The resident of the property, Kevin Bahe, was away for the day, said Lt. Theresa Burgess.
