A fire ripped through a
Selma residence on Friday,
Jan. 16 destroying two sec-
ond floor rooms and caus-
ing an estimated $30,000
to $40,000 damage.
The owner of the
house at 1420 Lakeshore
Drive, Michael Metcalf Jr.,
was away when the fire
occurred.
Neighbors spotted a
flicker of flames coming
from the base of the house
at approximately 9 p.m.
and phoned 911.
According to Division
Chief Joe Feldhaus of Illi-
nois Valley Fire District,
the owner apparently left a
kerosene heater running
unattended in the lower
level of the residence when
it fell and ignited the floor.
The flames consumed
two rooms of the upper
level of the house before
fire crews contained the
flames.
It took firefighters a
little more than two hours
to fully control the blaze
with 20 volunteers and
eight pieces of equipment
to assist.
