Basement Damaged In Fire

On November 3, 1989 at 4:54 p.m. firefighters were sent to 860 Mount Pleasant Road for a house fire. A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a basement storage room in an occupied 2-½-story brick house. Firefighters from four companies had the blaze knocked down in five minutes. The entire home suffered heavy smoke damage. A damage estimate was not available. The West End Fire and Rescue Company assisted at the scene.

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.
