Several fire departments were called to battle a blaze Wednesday afternoon on Barnett’s Creek Road at the Daviess/Ohio County line.
Officials say the homeowner had burned unused materials from a home remodel the night before.
The owner left around noon to go into town on Wednesday.
Windy conditions are believed to have rekindled the fire that spread quickly to the woods.
Two houses and three cars caught fire and are a total loss.
Emergency crews were on the scene for several hours.
