Minetto Fire Dept. responded to a blaze in a vacant house owned by Dr. and Mrs. (Doren) Dennis Norfleet on the Gray Road at 6:08 a.m. today. The wood frame house, which was reportedly built around 1870, is located next door to the home of Minetto Fire Chief John Flanagan. It was formerly the home of Florence Gray, who is now a resident of Hillcrest Nursing Home.

Chief Flanagan said at noon today that the building was fully engulfed in flames when he and his men arrived at the scene. The house was termed a total loss.

There have reportedly been difficulties lately with youngsters breaking into the house and someone apparently had been in the area that night. Flannigan said that it looked as if there had been a bonfire on the grass outside and that the grass was burned.

Eleven firemen were on the scene and remained there until 10.43 a.m. Granby Fire Dept. was on standby duty at Minetto.

Note: This house was most likely built by her father, William, as he married Rosanna Stevenson in 1871.
