McCUNE RESIDENCE DESTROYED BY FIRE - Family Loses Everything At Orma

(07/18/2002)
Fire quickly spread through a two-story house at Orma yesterday evening, destroying the structure and its contents. The residence was owned by Jimmy and Christina McCune, who with their two pre-school children occupied the dwelling.

The family lost everything.

Firemen said Ms. McCune left the house to feed some horses and noticed the dwelling on fire a few minutes later.

Firemen from the Upper West Fork and Arnoldsburg Volunteer Fire Departments responded to the call at 4:30 p.m.

The Upper West Fork VFD responded with two pumpers, and the Arnoldsburg VFD responded with a pumper and two tankers.

The residence was located against the hillside above Route 16, across the road from the Orma Church.
