And Bill Woolworth Correspondent
PHILIPSBURG - Firefighters were called to a structure fire early Saturday morning, at the height of a major winter storm that hampered firefighters from gaining access to the home.
The fire was at Kevin and Tanya Thompson's home, 248 Thompson St., Rush Township. It is about a quarter of a mile off U.S. Route 322 on Thompson's Curve.
The weather prevented firefighters from getting more than about four pieces of equipment to the scene. The rest of the manpower had to walk to the fire, while water was shipped via 1,400 feet of five-inch hose. Another 500 feet of hose was placed from a fire hydrant along U.S. 322 to the fire engines at the end of the driveway. more...
