‘Fire’ at historic home was man-made fog

JAMESTOWN, Pa.

A reported fire at a historic northwestern Pennsylvania residence named for Mark Twain was actually just man-made fog created for a music video being made in the building.

Jamestown’s assistant Fire Chief Tom Luckock says people at a restaurant on the building’s third floor called the fire department when the fog filled the building Saturday about 5 p.m. The restaurant was hosting a 70th wedding anniversary party for a couple in their 90s at the time.

The building is named for Twain because he was friends with the Dr. William Gibson, a physician and world traveler who built the home in the mid-1800s.
