Akron Fire Department Responded To Four Calls Last Week
Akron firemen handled four alarms in seven days with two town and two country blazes. A new Gassman residence fire caused facial burns to Grant Gassman from a misplaced oil heater. A Wakeman farm fire near town damaged a corner of the house, likely from wiring. Gordy Groon’s farm blaze destroyed the dwelling despite some furniture saved. Otto Larsen’s basement oil heater incident at a Larson home led to clothing fire and minor burns, with little structural damage.
