Faulty Furnace Causes Fire

On April 22, 1933 at 9:00 p.m. a passing motorist spotted a house fire on the Orrstown Road and alerted firemen. When firemen arrived flames were shooting from the front door of one side of the two-story duplex. Firemen made a good stop keeping the flames to the house of origin but both families were displaced. A faulty furnace caused the fire. No damage estimate was available. A family dog and cat perished in the blaze. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies battled the blaze.
