Two Houses Burn In Jacksonville

On April 13, 1925 in the morning hours firemen responded to the Walnut Bottom Road, Jacksonville for a house fire. A fire that started in a defective flue destroyed that house and an adjoining home along with an ice house before being extinguished by firemen from Shippensburg and Carlisle. The paper reported that the Shippensburg firemen had the blaze under control before the Carlisle firemen arrived (it did not say which Carlisle company responded). A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm.
