Home Fire and Two Other Calls Reported by Corry Firemen
Corry Firemen answered three calls yesterday. The first involved a near miss at a dwelling where smoke was detected just in time to avert a major blaze. At 12 03 pm responders went to 260 Marion Street, the Rodney Knowlton home, where children spotted smoke and alerted neighbors. Crews searched a wall and contained the fire in a bedroom, with engines and an aerial truck arriving soon after. The incident may have been started by ashes from a stove, with damage estimated around a hundred dollars to the Hicks-owned property. A second fire at the city dump prompted another response, with trash fire burning and threatening nearby trees. Firefighters were back at the station by 6 29 pm. No injuries reported.
