Barn and home in Hernando County destroyed by fire started from E-bike, crews say

The overnight Friday fire displaced the Brooksville family.

BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Hernando County Fire Rescue crews responded to a barn, home and two vehicles on fire on Breggs Lane in Brooksville on Friday night. 

Officials said in a Facebook post that crews found the large barn and home on fire and were able to bring it under control after about one hour. The fire was started from an E-bike that was in the barn, according to the post. 

There were no injuries reported and the two occupants who were displaced are being assisted by the Red Cross. 

"All buildings and the 2 vehicles were completely destroyed in the fire," the post read.

Pictures show a white Kia engulfed in flames and the aftermath with the barn unrecognizable. Pictures also show the inside of the house scorched from the large fire. 

The Florida State Fire Marshall's office is investigating.
