Small fire damages home
A small fire damaged a home this morning near Westminster. Charlie King, Oconee Fire Chief, said the call came around 7 this morning to Weaver’s Drive in the Cleveland Community. The fire started beneath the house and is traced to an apparent mal-function of the home’s heating unit. Three adults and a pet are taking up alternate accommodations until they are able to restore their home to a livable condition. King said it behooves everyone to pay attention to their heating units now that temperatures are dropping to winter-like conditions.
