Culkin Volunteer Fire Chief Jerry Briggs is covered in foam while moving away from fighting a blaze at 5236 Oak Ridge Road this morning. The home is owned by James H. Strickland, 62, who is in the Warren County Jail after pleading guilty in June to charges of molesting a child younger than 14. No one was in the house when the fire was reported at 6:17, said Warren County Volunteer Fire Coordinator Kelly Worthy. He said the house was a total loss. Volunteers with Culkin, Northeast and Bovina fire departments responded to the fire, in which no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remained under investigation, Worthy said.
