In a lawsuit filed last week, Edward James and Mary Gertrude Davidson of Shallotte are seeking $13,000 for the loss of their belongings plus attorney fees and cost of court. A fire destroyed their modular home owned by Gerald Nellenbach of Shallotte on March 23, 1984 while the couple was away, the suit states. According to the suit, the fire also destroyed their 1977 Ford LTD parked beside the home and all of their household furniture and clothing causing the couple to "incur other extensive living expenses for three months." The fire started "because of an over-loaded electrical transformer and because of certain negligent acts and/or omissions" that will be produced at the trial, the suit filed by Whiteville attorney Michael Willis alleges.

' ^ ?s Brunswick ouse Fire quested a jury trial in Brunswick County Superior Court Prior to the fire, "the weather was clear and there was no lightning anywhere in the area," the suit states. The home burned from "the outside in" and at the time the fire originated, "sparks and smoke were coming from the main transformer supplying power to the service pole" of the home, it reads. Those lines were under the control of Brunswick Electric, it adds. Two weeks prior to the fire, the suit states, "lights in the modular home dimmed and brightened on a continual basis." After notifying Brunswick Electric of the irregular lighting pattern, no one from the company came to check the problem, it states. Brunswick Electric should be held respoasible for the fire since they "had forewarning of a potential problem in the transmission line and/or transformer" and that the fire would not have destroyed their belongings if they had been home, it states. The fire occurred around 7 p.m. last March 23. 0 Cnur I ma* u jiuiu. inw.
