Anne Andresen notified this paper of the tremendous sight at Ted Thoreson’s place the night of the tractor pull at the Ida County Fair. Andresen says they spotted the smoke and her and her husband Jerry went to explore when they discovered Ted Thoreson’s house in a full blaze of fire. Kelby Wulf called it in and then called Thoreson as he was driving home from the fair. Thoreson could not believe it when Wulf said to him, “Ted, your house is on fire!”
