Handewitt - Federal highway closed after fire in thatched roof house

Due to a roof fire at a thatched-roof house, Federal Road 199 between Handewitt and Wallsbuell is expected to be closed for several hours more. The fire department was alerted around 7:20 pm on a Wednesday. When they arrived at the scene, the roof of the building on the Federal Road in Handewitt had already fully engulfed in flames.
