Fire Damages Hunting Camp

On December 1, 1981 at 7:16 p.m. firefighters responded to a cabin fire on the Shinabrook Road, Upper Horse Valley, Letterkenny Township. An overheated wood stove caused a fire that did considerable damage to a hunting cabin. The kitchen and bedroom sustained heavy fire damage and the remainder of the one story frame building received heat and smoke damage. Icy conditions on the mountain roads slowed the fire apparatus response. It took 40 firefighters from five companies 15 minutes to control the blaze. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose, Cumberland Valley Hose and West End Fire and Rescue companies 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.
