| On 8-3-04 we were paged to this fire at 2335. We were on scene until 0725. We received mutual aid from Allerton, Corydon, Garden Grove & Derby fire departments. The Wayne County Emergency Manager, Humeston First Responders, Wayne County Ambulance, Wayne County Sheriff's Office & The Iowa State Patrol also provided assistance. This house was struck by lightning during a storm that dumped 3.5" of rain in about 2 1/2 hours. We were able to conatin the fire to the attic and the upstairs part of the house. While the structure is a total loss we were able to save most of the contents of the first floor (furniture, photos, clothing). |
