LISBON — A late night Friday fire remains under investigation by Lisbon fire officials over the weekend.

Village Fire Chief Mark Hall said Sunday that crews were dispatched after a long day of downed wires and brush fires triggered by high winds in the area to the structure fire at 133 E. High St., on the opposite corner of the Eagles club.

Upon arrival, the residence was fully involved, so Hall called for mutual aid with manpower and trucks from neighboring Hanover Township and Leetonia.

The family was out of the house and had just gotten home. All the pets were out of the house, too. No one was injured in the fire, including the firefighters.

The high winds, which had accelerated since earlier that day, further exasperated firefighters’ efforts to put out the blaze.

A neighboring structure to the east had sustained melted siding, as crews fought to stop the blaze from spreading to neighboring structures, Hall said.

The homeowners Christopher and Deborah Shivers had insurance. The home was built in 1900 according to the Columbiana County Auditor’s website and Hall said he heard it had been a historic home, possibly part of the Underground Railroad. The home had been valued at more than $100,000, per the state auditor’s website.

At the time of the blaze, the home had no electric power as wind storms had disrupted service in that particular block earlier in the day. It is unknown if that had anything to do with the blaze.

Hall said the State Fire Marshal will be meeting with Lisbon fire officials to offer help with the determination of the fire cause. At this time, the fire is undetermined. Nothing was suspicious.

He had another truck further down on High Street, explaining there was a lot of soot and ash.

On Saturday, Hall said the fire department returned to the High Street fire to put out some hot spots.

Ultimately crews cleared the scene in the early hours of Sunday morning.
