Fire Damages
Anderson
Home Saturday
Clinton Laws was at
work at the filtration plant
Saturday afternoon when
he looked out the window
at approximately 1:45 to
see smoke boiling up into
the sky from the Mac
Anderson home at 611
Mississippi. He immediate-
ly called the Coleman Vol-
unteer Fire Dept, and then
ran to the Anderson's to
see if anyone was in the
burning house.
The blaze was under
control about 10 minutes
after the fire department
arrived on the scene. How-
ever, extensive damage
was done to the south
bedroom and bath, where
the fire is believed to have
started. Smoke damage is
heavy throughout the
house and apparently the
smoke caused the death of
the Anderson’s poodle.
Mac and Joyce Ander
son were at the Fiesta de la
Paloma when the fire oc-
curred. It is believed that
faulty wiring may have
been the cause of fire,
according to officials.
