Salem Fire Department received a call Friday at approximately 6:30 p.m. concerning a fire at 132 E. Eastern Hills Blvd., Salem.
The home is the residence of retired local attorney John W. Mead and his wife Mary. The Mead’s were on vacation at the time.
When Salem Fire Department arrived, the house was fully involved. Salem fire officials called Campbellsburg and Pierce-Polk fire departments for use of their water tanks. The house is constructed of brick, but it has been reported that the interior received extensive damage.
Fire departments were active at the scene until midnight putting out hot spots.
