Burned Davy Town Hall Damage Put At 13000
A Wednesday night blaze at Davy Town Hall caused about 13000 in damage. Assistant Fire Chief T A Sizemore said the three story building sustained 7000 in structure damage and 6000 to contents with most loss from water. The fire likely started in an unused men’s room in the library storage area and was contained after about two hours with no injuries. The town plans rebuilding at the current site and the hall lacked fire insurance due to no fire escape.
