Fire Trucks Sent
To Two Fires
During Week
After several months of winter
inactivity, firemen of the Valley
Volunteer Fire Association have
been called out three times with
in the last few weeks. Two
alarms occurred week before
last.
The first called the VVFA
trucks to the home of Mrs. Vera
Rorrison in North Palmer, where
a grass fire threatened to race
out of control. The fire was put
out without property damage.
The second alarm of the week
was more serious. Edwin Hart
ner, leasing the ground and root
cellar of the Curtis farm, now
the home of the William Myers
family, was burning grass and
brush on the property. Thinking
the fire out, he left it, only to
be recalled in a few minutes to
find the cellar door aflame, ap
parently from sparks carried by
the breeze.
Fire equipment was rushed to
the scene, and damage was con
fined to the root cellar. How
ever fire chief A1 Hagen estimat
ed that the ton of seed potatoes
stored in the cellar were seri
ously damaged, although not a
total loss..
Although called to two fires
with a week, Mr. Hagen point
ed out that the 1949 record is
far better than that of last year.
On May 15, 1948, the Valley al
ready had suffered 11 fires.
