Asst. Chief Johnson examines damage
A Leading Creek dwelling was heavily damaged by fire Wednesday night.
Firemen
quickly brought the blaze under control after it was reported at 7:18
p.m. The
Grantsville VFD had barely regrouped from an earlier blaze on Wigner
Street in
Grantsville.
House located on Leading Creek near Route 16
Assistant Fire Chief Dave Johnson said he was told the double wide
modular home
had been owned by Julie Lamp of Grantsville. No one was home when the
fire started,
although a neighbor said it had been occupied by Nick and Sherry
Parsons and their
infant child.
Fire did extensive damage to bedroom area
No immediate cause of the blaze was suggested.
Most of the fire was confined to a bedroom and closet area, although
the dwelling
received extensive water and smoke damage.
The Smithville VFD went to the scene to assist with the Arnoldsburg
VFD, which was
advised to return to station before their arrival. Calhoun EMS
dispatched an
ambulance.
