Three Adults Displaced by Fire

Three adults were displaced after a fire broke out at a home in Greenfield Township last Friday before noon.

Chip Eckard, assistant fire chief of the Greenfield Township Volunteer Fire Company said the fire which occurred at 763 Bedford Street, was called in around 11:35 a.m. by a passerby who saw smoke coming from the structure.

He said when his crews first arrived on the scene, the front right bedroom was involved in flames and there was black smoke coming from the window.

Eckard said they were able to contain the fire almost immediately after arriving on the scene.

"The fire was pretty easily contained and the house was open so we were able to go right to that spot," he said.

The fire stayed to the right side of the house, and it did not damage the other parts of the house.

"Nothing other than smoke or water damage," Eckard said.

With it being just a content and room fire, the homeowner would be able to work with their insurance for repairs.

Eckard said the American Red Cross was called for the three adults who were displaced.

The state police fire marshal will also be investigating the cause.

Officer Daniel Eastep of Greenfield Township Police Department said there was nobody home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries.

He said he was able to rescue a cat and a bunny from the home.
