Fire Causes $600,000 In Damage To Porter’s Furniture
On January 5, 1996 at 10:03 a.m. firefighters were alerted to a structure fire at Porter’s Furniture Store, 7960 Molly Pitcher Highway, Southampton Franklin. An electrical malfunction sparked a blaze that destroyed a front showroom and damaged merchandise in the large one and a half story brick business. The entire building suffered smoke damage. One firefighter was transported to Chambersburg Hospital after a portion of the ceiling collapsed on him. Twelve companies battled the $600,000 blaze. The West End Fire and Rescue, Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies operated at the scene.

I think to whole crew should be proud of this one. Knowing the building construction and the fire conditions, this could have been a Charleston repeat. Great job guys!
