FIRE IN SCHOOL
FURNACE ROOM
The fire department was called
to the Nome Public School to ex
tinguish a fire which was smoul

furnace room on the north wing of
the building. Firemen soon dis
covered that a rope which was
fastened through the ceiling and |
was supporting a steam header i
from the boiler had caught fire,
from the over-heated pipe. Fire
was quickly extinguished.
The school children were march
ed out of the building in a very
efficient manner.
