The- Bennington fire department was first, on the scene, but lack of water stymied its efforts.

The fire was in the oenter' of the house and badly damaged four rooms and a bathroom located in that area. There. was considerable smoke and water damage throughout the house.

The fire started when the smoke pipe on the hot air furn ace fell down. The house is owned by Albert Davignon, who also employs Mr Langlois.
