A large, two-story home in the Shepherds Fire District was destroyed by an early morning blaze on Sunday.

Personnel from Iredell, Mecklenburg, Catawba and Lincoln counties responded to the fire at 658 Normandy Road after an automatic alarm notified dispatch of the fire at 5:13 a.m.

Arriving units found smoke coming from the home and a working fire was transmitted. A second alarm was transmitted due to heavy fire in the attic area. Water tankers from as far away as Stony Point responded, along with several fire boats. 

Personnel and apparatus from Shepherds, Mooresville, Troutman, South Iredell, Lake Norman, Sherrills Ford, Davidson, Denver, Mount Mourne, Trinity, Cool Springs, Stony Point, Ebenezer, Wayside, West Iredell and Monticello responded.

The fire was declared under control at 8:26 a.m.
