Show Mapleton Home Is Destroyed By Fire A home and furnishings were destroyed by fire in Mapleton, Wednesday, resulting result-ing in a total of approximately approxima-tely $7,000. The residence, known to most people as the old March-bank March-bank home, was owned by Ed Behrman. It is located on the outskirts of Mapleton. The Behrman's were not in the home at the time. They have been living with their daughter daugh-ter in Mapleton. Mr. Behrman was at the home this morning, morn-ing, however, and left a fire in a small stove in a back room. Fanned by a stiff wind, the flames were out of control before be-fore the Springville fire department de-partment arrived. The department de-partment was handicapped by lack of water, with only that available which the fire truck was carrying in its pumper tank. |
