Fire struck a remodeled school house three and a half miles west of Chardon on Route 6 two days before the Puro family planned to move in. Dense smoke drew Mrs. Puro’s attention and a passerby alerted the fire department. Chief Burt Barnum said insulation ignited by faulty furnace construction caused the blaze, leaving only the shell standing as Montville fire crews brought an extra tank of water.
