Staff Reports

Marshall Fire Department personnel rescued a family pet from a burning home shortly after noon Wednesday. Damage to the structure was moderate and there were no injuries.

A departmental report said a passer-by saw the blaze at 44 Linwood Drive and called firefighters. Other than the animal, no other occupants were at home at the time.

The initial determination is that a large tree limb which fell on a power line caused an electrical short within the structure's walls, where the blaze began.

Harrison County deputies filed a criminal mischief report after being told a county-owned tractor had been damaged.

The report was made 8:51 a.m. Tuesday from a site at the intersection of Haynes Road and Walnut Hills Road by an equipment operator for the Road and Bridge Department. Damage totaling $1,500 was done to the windshield of a tractor by a BB gun.
