Explosion Destroys Rural Home in Bush Road Fire
A morning blast at the George Moats home on Bush road near East Branch leveled the dwelling, with a $20,000 loss. Spring Creek volunteers and Corry responders battled the fire after neighbors reported the blast at 8 o'clock. Three Moats children, waiting for a school bus, narrowly escaped as the house exploded likely from an oil furnace. The family was away, and investigators planned further work today.
