Kerosene lamp causes house fire at Aulne
A kerosene lamp was blamed for a house fire Dec. 12 that completely destroyed a house at Aulne.
Marion Fire Department was summoned at 4:11 a.m. to 1403 Pawnee. When they arrived, fire was all through the house, Marion Fire Chief Mike Regnier said.
The area was without electricity at that time because of an ice storm. The lamp was being used to light the home.
Regnier said the owner was home at that time and had safely escaped the fire.
Seven Marion and two Peabody firefighters did their best to save the structure but the house burned to the ground.
Fortunately, no other structures were damaged.
The owner of record was Martin Johnson.
