House fires

Firefighting volunteers braved brutal cold Friday battling two home fires that ruined residents’ holiday hopes.
Neither blaze caused any injuries. One traced to an electrical issue in a vehicle parked nearby, the other to an electrical heater. Firefighters also responded to six other calls for help between Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day; one involving carbon monoxide in a home, three smoke reports, one vehicle that had crashed into a home and one sparking power line.
