Frozen Water
Lines Lead to Fire
Smoldering insulation resulting
from frozen water lines being
thawed is believed to have been
the cause of a fire which broke
out in the basement of a rental
house owned by Ghell and Maxine
Bear, Friday night.
The one-bedroom home, temp
orarily occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
.Jack Hager, is located next to
the Bear home opposite Roy’s
Texaco station in Soldotna,
The Soldotna Volunteer Fire
Dept, was called and extinguished
the flames. Considerable difficul
ty was encountered in finding the
source; of the fire due to dense
smoke.
Harold Jackson, fire chief, said
the fire department's equipment
was in good working order and
plenty of water was available to
fight that fire.
Jackson estimated fire and wat
er damage to the Bear home to
be about $1,000. This estimate in
cludes a water pump which had
been left turned on in the base
ment while pipes where being
thawed and which is reported to
have been totally destroyed.
The pump itself might have
started the fire, the chief said,
but believed the flames probably
broke out from insulation which
had smoldered several hours.
