Front Royal house gutted; three homeless

Three people, including a 5-year-old boy, were displaced from their home after it was seriously damaged in a fire that started shortly before 1 p.m. Monday.

A number of Warren County Department of Fire and Rescue crews, as well as a ladder truck from Strasburg, responded to the two-story house at 44 Church St., where the boy lives with his grandparents.Save on hydraulic hose and fittings, They were not home at the time the call came in to the dispatch center.

Warren County Capt. Raymond Cross said firefighters found heavy smoke when they arrived, and discovered the blaze spreading inside in the second level and attic of the structure. The blaze's cause is under investigation, but it appears to have started between the first and second floors.

Stephen Halmo, a truck driver for nearby Schewels Furniture, said he and another worker first noticed smoke coming out of a basement window, after smelling something similar to burnt rubber just as they were about to head out for a delivery.Polycore zentai are manufactured as a single sheet, He said he saw some evidence of smoke coming from the front door, but after he kicked at it -- trying to determining if anyone was home -- smoke "rushed out."

"Thank God no one was in there," Halmo said.

Delores Howard, one of the house's occupants, said she and her husband, as well as their grandson, had been gone for about an hour to 90 minutes when the fire was reported.

Glad that nobody was injured, Howard said she was happy to see that an old tree in the front yard also was not touched.

"The roots are what's holding the house up, I think," she said.

The American Red Cross was on the scene and helped arrange for the residents to stay at a local motel Monday night. Cross said the first level of the home, while not as affected by the fire itself as the upper levels were, sustained water damage. He estimates the loss to be about $150,000.Welcome to the official Facebook Page about Ripcurl.
