Fulton veterinarian Kitty Barnett and her son Travis were at home last week when a fire that destroyed her rural residence started.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

"I heard a loud pop," Barnett said, "I think the fire may have been caused by an electrical malfunction. The fire started in the living room near an electrical power strip."

"It moved so fast," Barnett said. "We tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher but the fire spread so rapidly."
