Cracks in a chimney let flames from a fireplace burn through and set a house on Green Valley Road on fire Saturday night.
A small, two-bedroom frame home just off Harcourt Road was destroyed by fire early today. When the Mount Vernon Fire Department received the call at 11:56 p.m. Sunday, it was reported the house at 611 Smith St. was fully involved in flames.
Although the city did not receive the A1 bond rating it recently hoped for, City Auditor Terry Scott said it did not diminish the city’s financial stability.
