Thankfully no one was hurt!

COOKEVILLE — Nothing but a charred, crumbling frame remained of the old Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house as the sun rose above the Tennessee Tech University campus Saturday.

The two-story, wood-frame house, located at 158 W. 7th St., had gone up in flames earlier that morning, with firefighters getting the call around 2:24 a.m.

“All I can release right now is that it’s under investigation,” Capt. Daryl Blair of the Cookeville Fire Department told the Herald-Citizen Saturday morning. “Upon arrival, it was fully involved.”

Ironically, fraternity members celebrated a ribbon-cutting for their new house at 10:45 a.m. the same morning at 68 W. 5th St.

As for the old house, it’s a complete loss.

I'm glad that they'd just moved into a new house! Talk about a serendipitous fire.

Serendipitous indeed.
