Home Destroyed In Amesville Fire Delays Sparked by Alarm Faults
A fireFriday destroyed Ace Holbert’s five room frame home on Sand Rock in Ames-Bern-Amesville. Neighbors tried repeatedly to call the fire department between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. but dialed wrong numbers. Fire Chief James Dillie said alarm lines failed during calls from Jenny Grandstaff and Anthony Christman, though the system rang in several volunteers’ homes when tested later.
