Watching a movie on DVD, Duane Bowers heard a loud pop noise. He went over to his wood stove in the next room and saw dark flames. He called a neighbor from his cell phone to call the fire in while he started to use a five gallon bucket to pour water on fire in the wall by his wood stove. Bowers said he was using his wood stove at the time but only had two logs in at the time. By the time the Erving Fire Department arrived to the secluded 142 North St. home around 11:30 a.m., the heavy smoke continued to pour out of the eaves of the metal roof. The fire was quickly contained by Erving and Orange fire departments, with the assistance of six other local towns. A first-alarm was struck by Erving because of the time of the day.
