May 3, 2008 “Working House Fire On 13th Ave In The City” the one in the Zoning Hearing

OK, why all the stuff about Ms Ellerbe’s Zoning Hearing that was three years ago.


This is an example of how we do zoning enforcement in Coatesville. And maybe fire law enforcement also. 


I don’t know exactly what happened in the home on 13th Avenue after the Zoning Variance was not granted but nothing seemed to have changed. That is nothing changed until the fire.


I believe we have another Zoning problem on Elm Street with what looks to me like a junkyard.


And it looks like the Roymar Hall will soon be occupied.

Go to the Modena Fire Company website pay particular attention to the photographs of bedroom furniture, mattresses from the attic “bedroom” and the last photograph. The last photograph shows a pile of cigarette butts.

There are no windows or doors to the outside in the attic of the home. I asked if the Modena Fire Company issued any citations for the fire. They said that’s up to the Coatesville Fire Department. 

“Working House Fire On 13th Ave In The City   By Fire Chief Frank Dowlin May 3, 2008   Saturday morning May 3rd, 2008 Modena Fire Company was dispatched at 1001 hours for an engine and ambulance to assist Coatesville Fire Department at 89 South 13th Ave. in Coatesville City for a reported house fire.
