Overheated Chimney Causes Fire

On December 9, 1982 at 2:41 p.m. a 47 box was alerted for a house fire at Newville R. D. 4 (Pa. 233). An overheated chimney sparked a fire that caused heavy damage to the roof and attic of an occupied 2-½-story frame dwelling. Firefighters from six companies had the blaze under control in 30 minutes. Damages were estimated at $20,000 to $25,000. The Vigilant Hose Company assisted at the scene.
