Lyon County Sheriff's officers and local firefighters found a two-story house fully engulfed by fire shortly after 12:30 this morning. The house was located in the 1600 block of Road F.

According to the sheriff's activity log, officers found the main gate to the property open and several bottle rockets in the driveway.

The house, which was unoccupied and not serviced with electricity, held three saddles, approximately 100 small square bales of alfalfa and an undetermined amount of ground corn, the log reported. The house and contents were destroyed in the blaze.
