Home Gutted By Fire Tuesday Despite Efforts Of Firemen The Inez-area home of William Caudle was totally gutted in a Tuesday morning blaze. The cause of the fire responsible for damages estimated at $30,000 to of the frame home at Rt. 2, War renton, is unknown and is still under investigation. Firefighters from the Warren ton Rural, Afton, Inez and Norlina fire departments re sponded to the 9 a.m. call. They remained on the scene until noon to ensure that the blaze had been extinguished. The joint effort of the responding departments was an example cooperation as fire men worked in concert toward a common goal. The Norlina department responded with its air supply needed to refill the breathing ap paratus in use by earlier arriving firefighters. The Inez department maintained one pumper at the fire scene. The Warrenton Rural department used two tankers to shuttle water to the pumper. Also in use was the "dump tank," a portable 2,000 gallon capacity pool, used to retain immediately a water supply without requiring the tanker to remain on site until the supply has been drained. The Afton department established a field station at a creek while the pumper and tanker shuttled water. According to spokesper son Walter Gardner, approx imately 7,000 gallons of water were used to extinguish the fire. "Thanks to the efforts of everyone, we never ran out of water," he said. An earlier Tuesday morning in cident reported at 8:20 a.m. had found members of the Warren ton Rural Fire Department at the Red Hill-area scene of a car fire in a vehicle owned by Ms. Mollie Simms and Ms. Ada Davis. Damages were confined to the carburetor. According to Fire Chief Kenny Clayton, damages to the late-model Chevrolet are estimated at $250. The fire had been extinguished already when firefighters arrived on the scene. Five eighth grade Academically Gifted students from John Graham Middle School participated in the regional N. C.
