Around 5:30 Thursday afternoon the Italy, Forreston and Milford fire departments were all gathered on Clark Street in Italy putting out a small house fire.

The owner, John Bernard Henderson said, “I don’t know what happened. When I came home there was lots of smoke”

Fire Chief Donald Chambers with the Italy Fire Department said, “At this point we don’t know what started the fire. It started in the kitchen but it wasn’t near a stove so I don’t know. Mostly smoke damage. It will probably total the trailer.”

In no time at all the fire was put out. No one was home when the fire started so there were no injures.

Once again, Italy, Milford and Forreston Fire Departments joined together for the good of the community.
