Show Ivan Monson Home Devastated by Fire Last Friday A fire of undertermined origin devastated the home of Ivan Monson Mon-son in Manila last Friday night. Both Mr. Monson and his son Lamar La-mar were absent when the fire started and when the alarm was sent in at about 10:15 p.m. The Pleasant Grove Fire Department Depart-ment responded; but when the firemen fire-men arrived, the kitchen on the south side of the residence was a flaming furnace. A south wind fanned the flames and hampered the work of the fire-fighters. When the flames were finally brought under control, the entire roof was consumed and much of the interior of the house was a complete loss, due to the heat, smoke and water damage. Most of the furniture in the living room was carried to safety; but the rest of the furnishings were lost. Total damage cost had not been estimated Tuesday morning. |
