House Suffers $3,000 in Damages

On January 5, 1973 at 11:52 a.m. firemen responded to a house fire on the Reese Road between Route 11 and Forest Ridge Acres. A fire of undetermined origin gutted a bedroom and extended to the hallway and crawl space before being extinguished by firefighters. Damages were estimated at $3,000. The West End Fire and Rescue and the Vigilant Hose Companies battled the blaze under the direction of Chief Crawford Wiestling. The Ladies Auxiliary of the West End Fire and Rescue Co. assisted the occupants in recovering and restoring their belongings.

Woody the truck is not in service yet. It should be going in any day now. The hold up is getting the people qualified. It has been on many runs while out on training. We took it on a local alarm yesterday.
