The troubled community of Woodview received a further shock when a townhouse burst into flames in the early hours of Saturday morning.

According to Fire Chief Pat Hoover, the department received multiple calls; he reported “the fire was rolling when we got there.” Twenty-six firefighters from all three stations came to fight the blaze, which took five hours to fully control.

Hoover stated that three of the units were seriously burned, while the other two suffered water and smoke damage. Given that the roof is largely gone, Hoover believes the building is structurally dangerous and will have to be totally demolished. The good news was that no one was injured. Meanwhile, the Fire Marshal will investigate the cause of the fire. ]]> 6357 2016-05-19 11:10:48 2016-05-19 15:10:48
