News from White River Twp VFD

       This past week, the department had only two minor fires.  The first fire was Monday at 3:30 a.m. on Peterman road, the first house north of Fairview road.  The cause was a newly installed gas furnace that exploded.  Flames spread underneath the house on the ground.  One truck and ten men responded.  They quickly extinguished the flames.

         The second fire was Tuesday evening.  A car belonging to David Pashall caught fire.  Cause of the fire was over-loading of wiring.  When members of the department reached the scene,  Pashall with the aid of heavy downpour had the fire out.  The next monthly meeting will be March 4, at 7:30 p.m.  (Reprinted with permission from the Indianapolis Star)
