Cleversburg Home Damaged In Late Morning Blaze

On January 10, 1962 at 1120 a.m. the Shippensburg Civil Defense room alerted firemen to a house fire at Shippensburg R. D. 2, behind Cleversburg near the old speedway. Faulty wiring in a kitchen sparked a blaze that caused extensive damage to the room and heat and smoke damage to an unoccupied 2-½-story frame dwelling. Firemen were on the scene three hours. Damages were estimated at $2,500. The Vigilant Hose Company extinguished the fire.
