Thompson, who lives in lone, but

home and acted as fire chief, said
Padberg. Many fire fighters were
also at the game in Baker City,
said Padberg, but Heppner, Lex
ington and lone fire fighters turn
ed out. The home, however, was
too far engulfed in flames and
there were problems getting the
pumper to work.
Padberg, who lost everything
in the fire, said that he is “ in
limbo” , camping in a motor
home in his front lot. He said that
he will try to rebuild.
Ironically, this is not the first
time Padberg has lost his home
in a fire. In 1964 his “ old farm
house” burned down and he lost
everything.
