There was a house fire in New Minden that destroyed a home.  Fire fighter departments from Hoyleton, Nashville, Addieville and Irvington were all called to the home of Steve Malone’s family on the 100 block of North Main Street or Route 127 on the west side at approximately 3 PM yesterday.  The one person in the home made it out with the pets unharmed.  The State Fire Marshall is being called into to investigate the cause and location of the fire.  Fire fighters were on scene until nearly 8 PM.  Part of Route 127 was shut down and traffic was detoured through town as the emergency vehicles were on the highway.  A few hours after the fire began, there was a 4 vehicle accident just south of New Minden that shut Route 127 down further.  According to Hoyleton Fire, no one was injured, but it did create more of a mess.
