A mid-afternoon house fire in rural Adams County resulted in a total loss Wednesday, though no injuries were reported. According to Adams County Fire District 2 Chief Eric Labes, crews were toned out at 1:44 p.m. to a single-family residence located at 1110 N. Rand Lane in Schrag.

Firefighters remained on scene for several hours to extinguish hot spots and ensure the fire was fully contained. The last unit cleared the scene at midnight.
