Firefighters battle a blaze in the 400 block of Peach Bottom Road in Fulton Township early this morning.
Fire destroyed a summer cabin along the Susquehanna River in Fulton Township early Tuesday morning.
No one was inside the 30-by-20-foot cabin at 449 Peach Bottom Road when the fire broke out shortly before 3 a.m., according to Chris Hodgden, Assistant Fire Chief of Robert Fulton Fire Company.
"When we arrived, the fire was fully involved," he said. "There were no walls left. It was all burnt out."

No one was injured in the fire, Hodgden said.
About 35 firefighters from Wakefield, Quarryville, Rawlinsville and Oxford had to wait to extinguish the fire because of downed power lines in the area, he said. They brought the fire under control in an hour.
State police Fire Marshal Trooper James DeWalt said the cause of the fire was undetermined, Hodgden said.
The one-story cabin, built on a dock along the river, was owned by Terry Short, he said. The loss was $44,000.
Trains were stopped in the area, and Peach Bottom Road was closed for a time, Hodgden said.
