A fire started in a light fixture of a second- floor bathroom in a Unionville home Wednesday at 2:51 p.m. and spread through the ceiling to the attic, engulfing the roof, firemen reported. The house sustained about $6,000 damage. The family of Sam Tressler was in the barn near the house, milking when they happened to look out and see smoke coming out of the roof, Libertytown Fire Chief Byron Lee said.
