Accidental Fire Damages Home

On April 6, 1982 at 11:15 p.m. firefighters were alerted for a house fire on Spring Road, Stoughstown. An electric heater caused a fire that damaged a 2-½ story occupied frame dwelling. The fire started in an addition and spread through the walls to the attic. Flames were fanned by high winds and firefighters were hampered by extreme cold. Firefighters from five companies battled the blaze and remained on the scene until 1:19 a.m. Damages were estimated at $6,000. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies assisted at the scene along with units from Newville, South Newton and Penn Townships.

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.
