Faulty wiring blamed for Elida house fire

ELIDA — No one was injured late Thursday in a fire that caused an estimated $15,000 in damage.

The 7:13 p.m. fire at 3770 Bussert Road was caused by faulty electrical wiring where someone had joined old and new wire, said Deputy Chief Keith Brickner of the American Township Fire Department.

The occupant living in the house was Jessica Shoffner, Brickner said. The Allen County Auditor’s Office listed the owner as Trophy Capital.
