Friday Night Fire Guts
Three Story Home Here
Fire struck the home of Don
Fraly on Friday evening and the
big three story building was
completely destroyed. Firemen
from the Sandy Volunteer Fire
Department attempted to con
tain the blaze which started In
the top floor but were unable
to hold it in control once the
fire broke through the roof.
The home, owned by Reuben
Hoffman, is located on Ten
Eyck Road and is generally re
ferred to as the old Melnig
home.
It started as a chimney fire
in the vicinity of the third
floor. When discovered Mrs.
Fraly went into town and con
tacted Hoffman. He immediate-
ly contacted the local fire de
partment and found that they had
already been notified.
Meanwhile Fraly attempted to
put out the fire himself. When
the firemen arrived the fire
was going strong in the third
story and attempts to keep the
roof intact were futile. Once
the fire reached outside the
hopes of saving the home
dwindled.
Mrs. Fraly took the chil
dren uptown while the fire
was being fought. The family
emerged with just the clothes
on their back. A washing ma
chine. refrigerator and tele
vision were also salvaged be-
By the time the fire was ex-
tingquished the entire roof and
third story was gone and mostof
the second floor was destroyed.
The home was insured.
