Two Injured In House Fire

On April 22, 1982 at 6:00 p.m. firefighters responded to the Newburg Road, two miles south of Newburg for a house fire. Spilled grease from a deep fryer caused a fire that damaged an occupied house injuring two civilians. The kitchen and living room sustained heavy fire damage and the remainder of the house suffered smoke damage. Approximately 30 firefighters from three companies had the fire under control in 10 minutes and remained on the scene for several hours. Damages were estimated at $3,500. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies assisted Newburg-Hopewell at the scene.

  4. Yes I used to work Bingo beck then and hated every minute of it. But it did pay the bills. No one should have to work bingo now, there should be a fire tax to take care of that. The citizens have been getting a free ride for to long, it is time they start paying for the service.
