Joan Rhine recounted a neighbor crying for help as residents escaped. About 15 Shawnee volunteers assisted despite the station being closed.

Tragic Apartment Fire Claims Two Boys In Pineville
Firefighters rescued two brothers Travis Triplett aged three and Philip Dale five from their Pineville apartment but both died from smoke inhalation upon arrival at Winchester Memorial Hospital. Their mother Bonita Triplett was hospitalized with smoke inhalation and shock. The fire at Winchester Gardens Apts also forced a nearby family to escape via ladder while others left safely by stairs. First responders Terry Braithwaite Scott Cullers and Frank Clem fought the blaze with water after reaching the living room, finding Travis in a closet and Philip still in bed. The origin appeared near a utility closet and the cause remains undetermined. The incident marks the area’s first fire deaths in 1975 and the second major city fire this year. A separate early morning attic fire at 118 N. Washington St. caused no injuries but smoke and water damage to two floors while investigators continue.
