Fire destroys home in Chester Township

A home near West Salem that was under construction was completely destroyed by fire this week.  The fire broke out late Tuesday afternoon at a home on Myers Road.  The home’s owner told fire officials that her 18 and 15-year old sons were spraying foam insulation in the second floor of the house shortly before it went up in flames.  Another sibling also reported hearing a loud boom prior to the fire.  The home was declared a total loss, with damage estimated at around $100,000.  While shaken, the boys’ mom says she is just thankful that no one was hurt.
