Multiple fire hoses were used and several pumpers were used. Several Arnoldsburg firemen made entry with breathing apparatus to knock-down remaining pockets. "When we got here fire from the old garage had ignited an electric pole and the hot wires were crackling," said Smith. Andy and Nancy Bremar, whose High Street house was very close the burning structure, said they alerted the only occupant of the dwelling, Adam Roberts. Another family had recently moved from the downstairs apartment.
