High Street Fire
A Saturday afternoon fire at 543 High Street has left a family of four homeless. The fire, started by faulty electrical wiring, smoldered and smoked, burning throughout the floorboards and walls before firemen managed to locate it and put it out. Tabitha Ford, 25 and Terris Trigg, 27 and their two children, a boy 6 and a girl age 9, had lived in the house for almost four years. This was the second fire in three months. The children were not in the house when the fire started. Ford discovered the fire when she came home and smelled smoke - then called Trigg, the landlord and the fire department.

The fire followed the wiring from the fuse box to the side of the home where it burned through the siding.
