BUNKER HILL, Ind. — A large fire destroyed a Frankton Police Officer’s home in Bunker Hill on Monday. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the state fire marshal, but no foul play is suspected, according to the Pipe Creek Township Fire Chief.
The police officer, Robert Cox, said he was asleep just after 1 a.m. when his neighbors woke him up to tell him his house was on fire. “I came running down the stairs and I got to the bottom of the stairs, I looked to my right which is the kitchen area, and I could see flame on the windows,” said Cox.
Cox said his entire house is destroyed, and he believes that the fire started in a garage.
This is not the first time Cox has faced tragedy.
In 2022, his daughter Hanna Cox died when her boyfriend accidentally shot her.
