DEWEYVILLE, Utah — A father and his two teenage sons were displaced Tuesday morning after a fire scorched their entire home in Box Elder County.

The blaze broke out just after 1 a.m. in Deweyville and multiple agencies rushed to the scene after the first responding deputy found the home engulfed in flames.

Residents of the home, a father and his two teenage sons, were able to escape and were not injured.

Officials believe the fire started around the fireplace, either in the chimney or from a space heater nearby.

The house was a total loss, with damages valued at around $300,000.
