FIREFIGHTERS IN ACTION AT TWO STRUCTURE FIRES DURING FRIGID NIGHT By Todd Marino
Area firefighters had a busy night battling structure fires.
The action included a house fire in Sagamore reported at about 10:30 PM. Rural Valley firefighters report flames were coming from the rear of the single-family home along Sagamore Road when they arrived. Firefighters from Dayton, Kittanning, Elderton, Plumville, Marion Center, and Perry Township – from Jefferson County – were dispatched to help battle the flames. Electric company workers were summoned to cut the power to a utility line that was downed. Most of the fire was extinguished from the outside, and interior crews then went inside and extinguished hot spots in the walls and attic.
