- FOURTEEN Terrace firefighters spent two hours bat--
- tling a blaze that completely destroyed a wood stove
@ and the garage housing it on the 5000 block of.Gra-
. ham shortly before 11 a.m. Jan. 22. The fire got out.
of control in the 40-year-old barrel stove, seen to the
left of the photo, shortly after the owner lit it. Firefight-
‘ers arrived to find the ‘building completely engulfed
in flames. The heat was so intense that it melted sid- .
ing on the house next door. Terrace fire lieutenant Bill:
‘Warcup said the owner was working on his’ logging
- truck cab in the driveway when he turned and noticed
_ flames burning around the stove. By:the time he got |
.' the garden hose running, the fire had spread to the
“whole building. Warcup said the stove malfunctioned
- somehow ' but since it was destroyed,. leaving nothing _
to investigate, the exact cause may never be known. * oe
