It began with a major fire Sunday at a home owned by Dwight Brush. The home is rented to Mrs. Katherine Jensen and is located at 5897 S. 2575 W. Assistant Fire Chief Orlen Karras blamed an overheated furnace for the blaze. Karras stated that evidently the thermostat on the furnace was not functioning properly and failed to shut itself off. A vent pipe leading to a bedroom closet became so hot that it melted and set fire to the closet. Children Smell Smoke Mrs. Jensens two small children were playing in the house and smelled the smoke. They awakened their sleeping moth er, who immediately evacuated herself, the children and the pet dog from the house. The entire bedroom was in flames when the Roy fire fighters arrived. Mrs. Jensen had been unable to save anything from the burning area. Heavy damage was done to the floors and ceilings. Roy fire department officials estimated the damage figure at $3,500. Second Fire Call Many spectators were drawn to the scene by billowing clouds of heavy smoke. A second fire call was answer-eby the fire department when a blaze broke out In a grass field at 5878 South 1900 W. The property belongs to Gordon Howes. Damage was minor. Officials stated thajt they were d sure the fire was the result of some small children playing with matches. Time Is Presclous Once again the Roy fire department urges all residents of Roy who are reporting a fire in this area to dial EXport If people dial the operator to report a fire then the chances are that they will be referred to the Weber County Fire department who in turn will refer them to us," Assistant Chief Karras said. Obviously," he added all this telephoning is going to add up to a lot of lost time, which can be vital." Fire officials said that the phone number of the department could also be found on the first page inside the cover of all telephone books in this area. |
