Fire Damages Grove Home

The Grove Fire Department responded to a house fire Tuesday around 11 a.m. at 114 N. Hazel with one tanker truck and two engine units, and extinguished the fire, confined mostly to the living room and front porch. Cause of the fire was an electrical problem. Also responding was a unit from the Cowskin Fire Department, which automatically responds every time there is a fire in Grove. "We had plenty of water available, water was not a problem," said Chief Lee Dollarhide. A fire hydrant is located one block away on Mill Street. The home belongs to J.D. Blackmore.
