County Firefighters Snuff Out Blaze

DeKalb County Volunteer Firefighters kept a kitchen fire from spreading Thursday at the home of Jimmy Midgett on Vandergriff Hollow Road.
David Agee, Assistant County Fire Chief told WJLE that firefighters were called to the home at around 11 a.m. that morning and found a fire in the kitchen. Although heat and smoke spread to other parts of the home, firefighters were able to contain the blaze primarily to the kitchen area. Flames also burned through the kitchen ceiling into the attic.
Members of the Liberty, Main Station, and Temperance Hall stations responded along with the tanker and equipment truck.
No one was home at the time and no one was hurt.
