Essex home destroyed by fire; Lakeside has a 25-acre blaze, too
An Essex home was completely destroyed by fire late Monday afternoon. The fire consumed the home of Fred and Kathy Fekete on U.S. Highway 2 near mile marker 176 and may have been caused by a generator that turned on after the power went out due to a powerline fire earlier in the day.
