Fire Hits
Local Home
By Carolyn Yuziuk
A fire destroyed the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jones
last Friday in the Double Is -
land Section of Yancey Coun
ty. The frame home was a
total loss, according to Fire
Chief, Bob Hilliard.
The blaze occurred at 10:30
a. m* when both Mr. and Mrs.
Jones happened to be away, Mr
Jones at his place of business
in Burnsville, City Motor Co.
and Mrs. Jones having gone
shopping.
According to Chief
the fire probably started from
a defective floor furnace. It
was estimated that the fire may
have been smouldering and
burning inside the closed house
for 3 or 4 hoius before the
son, who happened to be pass
ing the house, saw the smoke
and called Burnsville Fire De
partment.
By the time the Fire Depart
ment arrived, the inside of the
house was already gutted and
they were unable to s q,l va ge
anything.
Mr. Jones had recently pur
chased a new piano which was
destroyed in the fire, and re
portedly had a valuable gun
collection in addition to his
household furnishings lost in
the blaze.
