Radford Fire Claims $10,000 Damage At Home
A late Saturday fire on Radford Road caused about $10,000 in damage to Lloyd Hales residence near Route 50. Firefighters battled for three hours, noting the brick veneer house with electric heat and good insulation created an oven like interior as the kitchen and dining room burned while the rest suffered smoke and heat damage. The fire, first spotted by a neighbor, was believed to start from an electric kitchen range. The family was away and returned after the alarm. Eight firefighters with two pumpers attended the scene and the house was insured.
