According to investigators, the shed and carport located in the rear of the house were a total loss, and that the end room of the Economy Inn Motel facing the rear of the house received damage from heat and smoke to the exterior wall as well as the interior of the room.
Firefighters were not able to determine a cause of the fire, and the State Fire Marshall was called to further investigate, according to a news release.
The Red Cross was called to assist the two occupants of the house, the Department said.
