Mountaindale House Extensively Damaged
On July 5, 1970 at 3:51 p.m. the Shippensburg Civil Defense room alerted firemen to a house fire at Shippensburg R.D. 4, in the area of Mountaindale above Mainsville. Defective wiring in a television set sparked a fire that caused heavy damage to an occupied home. When firemen arrived they found the house fully charged with smoke. The fire was contained to the double living room with heat and smoke damage to the rest of the house. Firemen remained on the scene until after 5:00 p.m. A damage estimate was not available. The West End Fire and Rescue and Vigilant Hose companies answered the alarm.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
