Leaking Fuel Tank Causes Fire

On February 3, 1983 at 1:53 a.m. a Newville box was dispatched for Shippensburg R. D. 1, Willis Road (Oakville area) for a house fire. A spark ignited leaking propane outside a basement wall causing a fire that damaged an occupied 2-½-story house. Fire extended up the wall and caused the most severe damage to the attic. Firefighters worked in the rain to bring the blaze under control and were on the scene until after 4:00 a.m. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies assisted at the scene along with units from Newville, South Newton, Penn Twp and Bloserville.

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.
