On Tuesday evening, April 28, there was a dryer fire at the Edison residence on Commerce Street. The fire spread to the adjoining wall and traveled to an upstairs hallway. Fortunately with the quick response of the Wellsville FD & VFD the fire was pretty much contained to those areas. According to the newspaper report the fire fighters were on the scene within two minutes after being called at 7:02 P.M. The Edison family all got out safely.
According to WFD Fire Chief Bill Smith the furnishings were "are pretty much shot" with smoke damage and oily residue. The house is insured.
The Wellsville fire fighters were assisted at the scene by Liverpool Township with Highlandtown providing back up at the station with men and equipment.
Thumbs up to our firemen and our good neighbors. Although there was some loss and some damage it could have been much worse if it wasn't for these dedicated men.
