Three Room House Destroyed

On March 4, 1941 at 10:15 a.m. on the east edge of Shippensburg George Fry noticed his neighbors home was ablaze and summoned local firemen. An overheated stove sparked a blaze that destroyed an occupied three-room house. The building was well involved when firemen arrived and all they could do was protect the neighboring house. One person was displaced. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose Company answered the alarm.
