Flowers Lost as Van Fire Ravages Delivery Truck
A one and a half ton van loaded with flowers for southeastern Ohio deliveries burned on E Main Street near Meigs Theater. Firefighter Olan Goodwin said an oil heater overheated after a bed object fell on it, gutting the storage compartment and ruining the flowers worth about two thousand dollars. The Morehouse Greenhouse of Grove City owned the van, which was to deliver to Norma Goodwin, and fire units from the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department responded.
