Pumper Truck Breaks Down Destroys Home in Nelsonville
Firemen arrived too late Monday afternoon to save the four room residence of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stott on Carbon Hill Road. The house and all contents were destroyed as flames rose ten feet high. The Stotts and their two children had moved in four days earlier. The blaze, likely from a coal stove, damaged a front triple garage but residents saved its contents. Firefighters used cistern, rock well, and booster pump water before the old 1989 model truck failed. The Warrens saved the garage roof. Nelsonville may lack fire protection soon due to no current contract. Fire Chief Clarence Hall arranged transport of the unit to Columbus for repairs. villagers aided with portable pumps overnight.
