A kitchen fire fed by grease appears to have destroyed a house on the Southeast side of town and blocked Rougemont Avenue, according to a dispatch from fire chief Charles Werner.
Werner says that all occupants got out of the house safely, but the picture he sent along suggests that the house has been nearly or completely destroyed.
The flames leapt up a wall, according to information Werner received from an occupant. Fire crews battled to extinguish the fire and protect adjacent homes, but the street— between 6th Street and Hartmans Mill Road— has been blocked.
So sorry for this family…glad everyone got out safe. Cudos to Chief Werner and his band of firefighters…thanks for being there.
Glad everyone got out safe. My parents experienced the same thing about 7 years ago do to xmas lights, it was very devestating for them and friends/family. I pray for the couple living n the home & hope everythngs can b taken care of.

vocab. No one likes an editor for simple posts. Why? Because most of you vocab nazis mess up your own post.
A space between your ellipsis and the following word is required. So proof yourself before checking another.
no space between an ellipsis and the following word is required Jimi.
vocab you have a devestating wit and an editor’s keen eye. Keep up the Christmas spirit. And may you wake up at the crack of dawn tomorrow.
@biff: I resemble that remark…
Ah the grease fire, the moral hazard of ethnic cuisine.
Obesity=Conduct AND Status. It also trumps ethnicity…
Do you mean “french” fries angel eyes? Deep fried turkey is actually a native dish, despite the exotic sounding name of the bird.
@vocab http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/ellipsis.htm Really I could give a… whatever, but the sentiment remains, grammar nazis are usually not welcome.
phake Jimi hendrix is a shill. he/she/it seems to be advocating a “Cultural Revolution” China/Cambodia style. Stand up to corporate worms like “Jimi”
