FIRE DEPARTMENT
RESPONDS TO TWO CALLS
This morning about one o’clock
the fire department was called
out to answer an alarm from the
residence of Whitey Washburn.
The fire was in the cache and no
damage was done. Saturday the
department was called out in ans
wer to a call from Polet’s Store.
Smoke was seen pouring out
around the safety on the roof. It
was discovered that a new safety
had been installed, causing a down
draft and unnecessary alarm. In
| both cases the fire department was
! able to respond quickly due to the
well cleared streets.
