Fire Damages Bradford House

Bradford City Firefighters battled a blaze at 16 East Main Street for nearly four hours early Saturday morning.

Bradford City Police notified the fire department of the blaze at about 4:30 a.m. Fire Captain Larry Visbisky says the entire rear of the house engulfed in flames when they arrived. The fire spread from the kitchen to the back wall, to the second story, then to the attic.

Visbisky says the 2 ½ story wood structure was not occupied. A person was moving in, and had belongings there, but no one was home at the time of the fire.

The people who live next door were out of their house by the time firefighters arrived, Visbisky says.

They were on the scene until 8:20 a.m. All the fire department's engines and 13 firefighters responded. Bradford and Foster townships, as well as Special Police, assisted.

Obviously, not a good picture of the fire but if you know it was taken in the Davis Street/Jackson Avenue area, you know it was pretty darn big. I would have tried to get a better picture, but by the time I got to East Main/South Kendall, I had bigger problems to deal with. Anyway, WTG Firefighters ... and police for calling it in.
