A Disastrous Fire Weathers Guider Town Center Loss
A major blaze devastated Guider six miles northeast of Bletn Saturday evening, wiping out the business district and several residences. The fire, fanned by a gas stove and rapid spread, destroyed buildings including the Nylorge store and hotel, with firefighters arriving too late to halt the flames. Household goods and clothing were burned, and insurers covered several buildings, though uncertainty surrounds one owner’s insurance. The town faces a hard rebuild as late decisions on closure and reconstruction loom.
