Scotland House Damaged In Afternoon Blaze

On August 17, 1998 at 4:38 p.m. Franklin County 911 dispatched a 7 box to 4017 Main Street in Scotland for a house fire. Firefighters arrived to find smoke showing and a working kitchen fire. Firefighters from five companies had the fire under control in 10 minutes and remained on the scene over one and a half hours. Damages were estimated at $10,000. The West End Fire and Rescue and Cumberland Valley Hose companies assisted at the scene. Earlier in the day the West Enders answered a working barn fire, but that post will be saved for another year.
