A family of eight in Darke County is receiving help from the American Red Cross after a fire heavily damaged their rural home 24 hours near the village of Arcanum.

Officials said there were no injuries, but the family lost two pets.
Firefighters said they estimate damage to the house that dates back to the 1900’s at $75,000.
