Electric Blanket Starts Fire

On November 5, 1997 at 3:41 a.m. firefighters were dispatched to a mobile home fire at 18 Lenwood Park, Southampton Township Franklin County. A short in an electric blanket started a fire that did heavy damage to an occupied mobile home. One firefighter Ryan Gochenauer suffered second-degree burns to the ears, neck and shoulder and was treated at Chambersburg Hospital. A damage estimate was not available. The West End Fire and Rescue, Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm.

If you get a call in Lenwood Park, check the run book, addresses all over the place, no order.
