Fire Destroys Summer Kitchen


On April 4, 1991 at 3:30 p.m. a Franklin 15 box was alerted for a house fire at 7490 Old Scotland Road, Southampton Franklin. A faulty fireplace sparked a fire that damaged a 2-½ story occupied brick dwelling. Fire destroyed a one-story frame addition and the kitchen before being contained by firefighters. The rest of the home suffered extensive smoke damage. Firefighters from seven companies had the fire under control in 10 minutes. Damages were estimated at $10,000 to $12,000. The West End Fire and Rescue, Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies battled the blaze with assistance from Fayetteville, South Newton, Newburg-Hopewell and Mont Alto.
