The Marlinton Fire Department has had three calls the past week. Last Wednesday an empty house belonging to Harry Shearer at Poage Lane burned to the ground, but it was practically destroyed before the call was made. Thursday the home of Roy Sharp at Woodrow caught fire, probably from lightning. The house was saved with about $2,000 damage to the carport and part of the kitchen. Monday night a truck was on fire near Minnehaha but the call was cancelled before the run was made.
