West Mountain woodframe house destroyed by chimney fire
Rural Shaftsbury home on West Mountain Road burned Tuesday night after a hot metal chimney from a woodstove sparked the flames. Fire crews from North Bennington Shaftsbury Arlington and Bennington Rural fought a stiff wind, but by midnight the blaze had consumed the structure leaving residents confronting a total loss. Local son George Ackerman said his sister smelled something like burning hair and investigators reported the fire originated from the stove’s chimney.
