WASHINGTON — The Washington Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire at 800 Jefferson St. at 10:52 p.m. Thursday.
There was no gas heat to the residence, owned by Annette Hambrick, and an electric heater had been plugged into a power strip. The power strip shorted out, according to WFD Chief David Rhoads, causing major damage to the residence. No one was home at the time of the fire.
