Living Room Gutted In Mobile Home

On April 30, 1975 at 12:15 a.m., firefighters were alerted to a fire at the West End Trailer Court. A fire of undetermined origin destroyed the living room of an occupied mobile home. The remainder of the building suffered heavy heat and smoke damage. The fire started in a couch in the living room and displaced a family of three. Firefighters from two companies had the blaze under control quickly. A damage estimate was not available. The West End Fire and Rescue Company and Vigilant Hose Company answered the alarm.

Earlier in the evening the Vigilant Hose Company was sent on a silent alarm to rescue a cat from the roof of a house on East Burd Street. And at 8:40 p.m. all three-borough companies answered an alarm at the Laundromat at King and Fayette Streets for a washing machine fire.

Sorry 1975 two days in a row, I will try not to let that happen again.
