A house in Robbins burned to the ground on Sunday, marking the second time it had caught fire in three years.
Officials say the fire began outside but quickly spread to the unoccupied house along Hemp Street Extension around 1 p.m.
The owner told Moore County News that he had begun tearing down the house after the previous fire. He said he was burning materials outside and believes embers may have spread to the house.
The only thing left standing after Sunday’s fire was a charred chimney.
No one was injured during the fire.
