Walking Where They Walked--Fire Call
"The fire department was called out in the
middle of the night, Wednesday night, to extinguish the fire in an outbuilding
on No. 1 Hill. The thermometer was
hovering around the 10 below zero mark and the run was an exceedingly
unpleasant one. The water plug on the
hill was frozen and it was necessary to go after the chemical engine, which
also refused to work. The fire was
finally extinguished by a small hose attached to the water pipe in a nearby
residence"
