Chateau airport hangar fire destroys six planes
A major fire at Chateau airport in the morning burned six aircraft, with an estimated damage of 50000 dollars. Fire officials say an exploding oil heater likely caused the blaze in the hangar, which housed four Chateau Flying Service planes and two privately owned aircraft. Two planes were saved and insurance coverage varied, raising questions about continued operations. The city and county own the hangar, which will be rebuilt, and stockholders may decide the fate of the flying service.
