November 24. 2014 11:33AM Two-alarm fire damages Ashland home A family of four escaped a two-alarm fire Monday morning at their home in a wooded area south of Ashland. The fire was reported at 10:45 a.m. in the attic of the two-story, 2,900-square-foot home at 1550 Pinecrest Terrace, said Chris Chambers, Ashland Fire & Rescue forestry division chief. The first crew to arrive, at 10:50 a.m., called a second alarm because they saw flames on the roof, Chambers said. A couple and their two young children evacuated and were unharmed, he said. The fire was quickly knocked down, but damage to the attic and ceiling displaced the family at least for Monday night, Chambers said later in a release. The cause is still under investigation. The fire started on an outside wall in a second story patio and spread through the eave and into the attic, the release said. Three engines from Ashland Fire & Rescue and two from Jackson County Fire District No. 5 responded to the fire. — Sam Wheeler   http://www.dailytidings.com/article/20141124/NEWS/141129904 © 2015 Copyright © 1995-2011 Crain Communications Inc.
