Smoke rises from the smoldering rubble almost seven hours after fire engulfed the home on Dogwood Hill Lane.

Two chimneys and a couple of pieces of stonewall are all that remain of a home on Dogwood Hill Lane in Chadds Ford after an overnight fire on April 26. No injuries were reported.

According to Township Manager Amanda Serock, the fire broke out about 2:30 a.m. Several have suspected that the home was struck by lightening, but Fire Marshall Tom Nelling said it was too soon to determine the cause and a conclusive determination might not ever be known.
