An Englewood Area Fire Control District firefighter emerges from a second-floor house that appears to be on fire. The historic wood-frame house, located on New Point Comfort Road, was slated for demolition, but its owner allowed the fire district to stage exercises in it.
ENGLEWOOD — A local historic home is going out not with a whimper, but with a bang — actually in flames.
The home, a more than 90-year-old house on New Point Comfort Road, was scheduled to be demolished. Instead, the owners offered it to the Englewood Area Fire Control District for training exercises.
