2 Vacant Houses burn on Nutt Ave At 0500 Uniontown and South Union Firefighters were dispatched to the area of Veech St. for a report of a "small fire on the roof". As Capt. Lovey's crew approached the area he saw the fire was on Nutt Ave and went on scene with two houses well involved with exposures on either side. An agressive defensive attack was started and the fire was kept the the original fire buildings.
