Multi-Alarm Fire Destroys Heath, TX Mansion in 2010 - Property Available to Buy

It's always a shame to see structure fires break out.  Specifically, mansion fires are some of the worst.  The fire has the capability to consume every sq. foot of space in a short amount of time.  Back in 2002, north Dallas saw the worst mansion fire to date on Strait Lane.  The 6 alarm blaze caused $20 million in damage to what was going to be known as one of the largest homes in America.

This Heath, TX mansion was completely destroyed in a 2010 multi-alarm residential structure fire.  Construction had just wrapped up on the 14,763 sq. foot mansion when a small fire broke out.  As fire crews responded to the scene, they were able to successfully put out the small fire, but did not know the fire had extended through the walls into an attic space.  In a short amount of time, flames were shooting through the roof of the estimated $2.3 million dollar home.  Within a few hours, the newly completed residence at 8220 FM549 had been utterly destroyed resulting in $6 million dollars worth of damage.

The land where the mansion once stood, 8220 FM 549, is now listed for sale just under $1,000,000.  A 2,000 sq. foot 4 car garage with extra room and balcony along with a fountain circle drive, pool, spa, pergola, 2 private lakes, and a privately gated 8 acres is included in the listing.  The 14,000 sq. foot foundation slab with plumbing is also an interesting amenity included in the listing.  Here's The Listing

Here's a few pictures of the blaze:
