A heat lamp caused the fire Monday afternoon in a rural Lincoln Township, according to an investigation by the Perry Volunteer Fire Department.
There were no injuries in the fire at 19363 B Ave., about three miles east of Yale.
“It started from a heat lamp in a dog house just outside of the home,” said Perry Volunteer Fire Department First Assistant Fire Chief Brian Eiteman.
The fire was reported about 3:45 p.m.
The single-family home, owned by Curtis and Mollie Clark, was built in 1898, according to Dallas County records.
