No One Hurt in Apartment House Fire

No one was hurt in an apartment house fire late Monday night on Jefferson Street.

Bradford City Police reported the fire at 11:41 p.m. and said there was heavy smoke coming from the first floor apartment.

Fire Department Lt. Matt Rettger tells WESB and The HERO that the fire started in the kitchen of the lower apartment and was “well on its way to spreading to the bathroom and dining room” which are connected to the kitchen.

Damage is estimated at $20,000 to $30,000. The fire has been ruled accidental.

Edna Hallock owns the building. Katherine Langdon lives in the lower apartment. Rose Snyder and John Frederick live in the upper apartment.

Nine city firefighters were on the scene for about two hours. Bradford Township was on standby. Special Police helped with traffic control.
