A North Redding house that was under construction was largely destroyed by fire Monday afternoon. At 3:20PM Redding Fire Department was called to the Buckeye area of Lake Boulevard a little south of Pine Grove Avenue. There was a well established fire burning at the rear of the house and it was quickly extinguished. The cause is under investigation. Damage to the $280,000 house is estimated at $200,000. Lake Boulevard traffic was stopped in both directions as fire equipment blocked the roadway.
