Wayland Fire Sparks From Lightning At Hirschy Home
A chimney bolt caused a roof fire at the Norman Hirschy residence in Wayland while the owners were away in Chicago. Firefighters confined damage to the roof. Nearby area lightning knocked out light bulbs at Willis Hildebrand basement and the Richards Oil Station transformer. Rain fell Saturday morning and again Saturday night, aiding fire suppression and clearing skies later.
