A large, multi-million-dollar home in Rockwall was gutted by a fire this morning, leaving only the garage and an adjacent outbuilding still standing as smoke continued to rise from the wreckage. Aerial video showed crews working the scene well into the late morning as firefighters chased stubborn hot spots. Officials have not released details on injuries or on what sparked the blaze.
Images from FOX 4's SKY 4 helicopter captured firefighters dousing hot spots at 1460 Anna Cade Road just after 10 a.m., according to the station. The footage shows severe structural damage to the main residence, and FOX 4 reports the blaze appears to have destroyed everything but the garage and a nearby secondary building. The station also notes the cause remains under investigation and it was not immediately known whether anyone was inside when the fire started.
Property details and value
Listings on Zillow identify the property as roughly 10,000 square feet with five bedrooms on about 20 acres. A separate listing on Trulia puts the market estimate in the low millions, roughly in the $2–3 million range, placing it among the larger holdings along Anna Cade Road.
Investigation underway
Fire officials have not released an official cause. FOX 4 reports the origin of the blaze is under investigation and there was no immediate word on injuries. Local investigators or the county fire marshal are expected to lead the follow-up as crews finish securing the site and preserve evidence for a formal probe.
The scene remained active through the morning while firefighters knocked down remaining hot spots and secured the charred structure. This story will be updated as authorities release more information.
