On Halloween afternoon at 15:19 hours The Jarrettsville Vounteer Fire Company was alerted for a dwelling fire located in the 4200 block of Federal Hill Road. Shortly after the alert, Deputy Chief 7 called en route and arrived on scene confirming working fire. Upon arrival the crew of E712 advanced attack lines into the dwelling to extinguish the fire on the first and second floors. E714 arrived shortly after to assist with ventilating the house and extinguishing the fire in the basement. Crews from later responding units assisted with fireground operations. Damage is estimated at approximately $250,000 and the cause is still under investigation. Special thanks to the Jarrettsville Ladies Auxiliary for refreshments and all mutual aid companies for their assistance.
