Fire destroys two brick business blocks in Valley View
A pre dawn blaze in Valley View Texas damaged two brick structures on the town square causing more than 30000 in losses. Firemen from Denton Sanger and Gainesville joined local crews in a three hour battle using a tank shuttle between a stock water tank and the scene. Owner Jack Latham estimated the loss above 30000 with less than half insured and said rebuilding would begin soon. The fire disrupted electric lines feeding water pumps and the origin was believed to be the radio repair shop on the mezzanine floor.
