Defective Wiring Causes House Fire
On January 17, 1954 at 11:45 a.m. firemen responded to a house fire on the Walnut Bottom Road, one mile west of Leesburg. When firemen arrived smoke and flames were pouring from the large house. Defective wiring in the attic started a fire that did heavy damage to an occupied 2-½-story frame dwelling. Fire damaged the attic, three bedrooms on the second floor and the first floor kitchen. Firemen obtained their water from a cistern located on the property. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm along with a tank truck from Letterkenny.

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.
