Chauncey Firemen Save Home From Corner Blaze
Chauncey-Dover firefighters halted a Wednesday blaze at Vincent Kish's five room home in Millfield saving the residence and limiting damage to about 2000 dollars. An overheated flue from a coal heating stove started the fire in the kitchen roof. Mrs Kish alerted the alarm at 6 15 p m as two trucks arrived and crews battled near zero temperatures to confine the flames. Athens County Sheriff and The Plains volunteers assisted as a precaution. water supply concerns were noted due to nearby frame homes and a road crossing incident led to potential charges for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
