Fire destroys large Mahoning farmhouse with no water supply
An antique filled two story farmhouse at Pa 551 and Old Youngstown Rd in Mahoning Township burned last night. Firefighters from four townships fought the blaze for three and a half hours but could not save the home of Elmer F Salzman now owned by John Draper. Insurance on the 10 room structure and contents is listed at 15000 dollars. A passing motorist reported the alarm at 855 PM. Fire crews logged 60 firefighters and 25 Mahoning, 20 Union, 10 Neshannock and 5 Pulaski participants. Tanker trucks hauled water from a farm pond half a mile away, and the fire was contained twice before reigniting. The cause remains undetermined as investigators continue.
