T~ is 'Called A- 'Heap 0' Livin' Fire D81tlages

Ford Residence The Frank E. Ford residence on

Canfield road was damaged by fire Saturday noon. The Eaton Rapids Fire department limited fire damage· to a second :floor room, the attic and sm11ll areas of the west wall and roof, with loss estimated at'$1,500.

The fire started from an over­fieated metal flue from a floor furnace and spread along .second­fl-0or joists t-0 the outside wall and int-0· the attic.

!Mrs. Ford, who works as a night nurse at ;Hayes-Green­Beach hospital in Charlotte, was sleeping in a room adjoining the one where the fire broke out. The heat and s:rnoke awoke her, and she quickly called the Eaton Ra-pids firemen. ...

Her husband was in Eaton Ra­pids shopping at the time. He drove --lnto the farmyard just ahead of the fire truck. ,
