DERRY — A fire was quickly extinguished Wednesday at a Fordway Extension home.


Only a few small flames and burning embers remained when firefighters arrived at 195 Fordway Extension shortly after 5:30 p.m.
The homeowner, whose name was not available, threw a bucket of water on the fire as soon as she noticed it, according to fire Lt. Jim Richardson. No one was hurt.


The fire began when embers cleaned from a wood stove earlier in the day ignited starter logs near the stove. There was minor fire damage and moderate smoke damage to the living room.
