Vacationing family loses rented home in Columbus fire

A Columbus vacationing family of five awoke to a blaze that destroyed the seven room two story home they rented near the old pond. The fire, reported around 3 30 a m, damaged a nearby house but spared others. Firefighters arrived quickly, with 25 men and three pieces of equipment, yet nothing could be saved. The owner, Thomas Messinger, valued the structure at about 10000 dollars and said the second floor had been remodeled recently. Lawrence Craker, his wife, and three children were away in upper New York State when the fire occurred. The exact destination of the Craker family is unknown. Local authorities are seeking the Craker family members who are believed to be traveling. The neighbors had alerted crews after the blaze had already gained momentum.
