Fire destroyed the small farm house located on what was left of the old Crom ranch on the southwest corner of South Airport Way and Crom Street on the western edge of Manteca’s municipal golf course. Brett Clinton, who lived in the house, said the fire started in his Ford 150 pickup truck parked in a covered makeshift garage on the south side of the house. He and his friend Tim Wetzel who were chatting inside the house noticed the fire at about 6 p.m. on Sunday.
