A blaze believed to have been started by an oil-burning stove caused extensive damage to a two-story frame house killing an 88-year-old male. Firemen located the victim near a second floor bedroom window. The cause of death was listed as smoke inhalation. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies extinguished the fire.

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.
