On May 2, 1975 at 7:10 p.m. the Civil Defense room alerted Shippensburg firemen to a house fire in Middle Spring. A fire of undetermined origin gutted two rooms on the first floor of a large 10 room-2 story log farmhouse; smoke and heat caused heavy damage to the second floor of the home. Firemen from three companies used 20 bottles of air fighting the smoky blaze according to Chief Charles Myers. The West End Fire and Rescue and the Newburg-Hopewell companies assisted the Vigilant Hose Company.
Also on this Friday evening the Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered an alarm for a car fire on South Penn Street and the CV ambulance answered one call during the day.

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.
