Gutshall Road Home Burns

On April 30, 1987 at 2:03 a.m. firefighters responded to a fire on the Gutshall Road, Southampton Cumberland. An electrical malfunction in the stairwell caused a fire that extensively damages the two-story frame house. Initially firefighters believed someone was still inside the home, but a search of the residence proved negative. Firefighters from five companies had the blaze under control in 36 minutes. Two firefighters were injured and transported to Chambersburg Hospital. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose, Cumberland Valley Hose and West End Fire and Rescue companies battled the blaze with assistance from South Newton and Penn Twp.
