Zonker WhiteWESTFORD, Vt. -
A family in Westford is homeless after a fire Wednesday afternoon.
Homeowner Zonker White says he lit a fire in his wood stove, and a short time later found the chimney on fire. He was the only one home and got out safely.
"I used a fire extinguisher because I could see the source on the outside of the chimney, where it was there were flames. I used it once, it did nothing. I ran, grabbed my phone, wallet, shoes, coat, turned off all the power and left the house, dialed 911 when I got outside and they were here amazingly fast," White said.
White says he just moved here in May, but loves it here and plans to rebuild.
