Stove Explodes, Child Burnt

On July 1, 1930 at 4:40 p.m. and alarm of fire was sounded for 114 North Fayette Street. A gasoline stove in the outer kitchen exploded igniting the rear portion of the house. Firemen were on the scene quickly and extinguished the blaze in 15 minutes. The flames damaged a car parked in a shed next to the house also. Damages to the house and car were estimated at $1,200. A nine-year-old boy was burnt when the stove exploded. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm.
