Lucan And District News
Defective Wiring
Blamed For Fire
On Saturday evening one of
the neighbours of Mr. William
Berryhill heard a crackling noise
which at first she thought was
Mr. Berryhill burning rubbish.
She went to investigate and saw
his roof on fire. She warned Mr.
Berryhill and sent in the alarm
but, before the fire engine ar
rived, the neighbours and Mr.
Berryhill, with the aid of hose,
had the fire under control.
Defective wiring was blamed
for the fire. The house was well
insulated which no doubt saved
the building, for the fire had
been smoldering for some time
as the rafters were ibadly burned.
Fall Through Roof
One of the firemen in using
chemicals fell through the ceil
ing but fortunately landed on a
bed so escaped injury. The house
was all frame so Mr. Berryhill
was most fortunate in not losing
his home,
