Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 Jamestown City Fire Department, Lt. Sheldon Mohr, \u00a0says that two of three tenants left homeless in a recent condominium fire in\u00a0 Jamestown will not be returning to the same homes.<\/p>\n
Mohr says following an investigation the cause of the fire was ruled to be undetermined.<\/p>\n
About 30 firefighters and five units from Jamestown Fire Department responded to the blaze reported at 9:49 p.m. December 18th, staying on the scene until 3 a.m. the next day. Three townhomes burned and others were evacuated along the 2nd Avenue Southwest cul de sac that borders the James River.<\/p>\n
The families were assisted by the Buffalo Valley Chapter of the Red Cross. Caseworkers are still working with the families.<\/p>\n
Joyce Baumgartner, who occupied the center condominium that completely burned, has found a new apartment in Jamestown.<\/p>\n
Five members of the Brandon Iverson family are hoping to get back into their condo in early January.<\/p>\n
The three members of the Courtney Humes family would have had a much longer wait, stemming from a hole in the roof of their condo that exposed the interior.<\/p>\n
However, the family had been planning a move to a home in Spiritwood before the fire happened, however, and will follow through with that plan.<\/p>\n
