PAGE SIX FIRE DESTROYS WAREHOUSE OF COTTAGE GROCERY BULLETIN—The two-three ala™m | today, 24 hours later, was to the same address as Sunday, Cottage Food Store. A floor furnace In the Martin apartment exploded, but| the fire was put out in several min- ute fire extinguishers. Coast G from the Storis ran across with chemical extinguishers, and helped the Juneau Yire De- partment. There was no damage. Althou no official -~ inspeetion had teen made by press time, dam- age to the Cottage Food Store from fire yesterday is expected to run well over $1,000. The warehouse, set ablaze by an heated circulating oil stove, was most totally destroyed, as well as food stocks, wrapping paper and other supplies kept in the storage space to the rear of the grocery store and living quarters Fred Martin, proprietor of the| grocery on Willoughby Avenue, was the first to see the fire, and shouted to his wife to put in the alarm. Firemen responded quickly to the 2-3 alarm which sounded about 2:20 o'clock yesterday after- noon. According to Fire Chief A. Minard Mill, the fire was brought under control almost immediately, but it was necessary to spend considerable time checking to mdke sure that it was not smoldering among the stacks of canned goods and other wares. The all-clear sounded about 3:35 pm. The Martins were taking sad in- ventory this morning—"20 sacks of potatoes, 15 of onions . ap- ples . . .” Labels were burned and watersoaked off of canned goods which, otherwise, are intact. In view of the inclement weather yesterday, the Martins had given their children permission to play in the warehouse, and Mrs. Martin lighted the stove in an adjacent washroom. The Martins think that, momentarily unguarded, the stove may have exploded. “It all hap- pened so fast!"” exclaimed one mem- ber of the family. The fire spread through the ware- house and up to the Martins' apartment before the Fire De- partment arrived. Mr. and Mrs Martin live there with their three chiiden: Julie, about 7 years ago; Paul, 2%, and their 10-month-old Laby. 500 VISITORS SEE| NEW COAST GUARD HEADQUARTERS (Continued from Page One) with boys ov line running south from the Cana- dian search and rescue operations come under Navy Com- mander Search and Resuce at either Kodiak or+ Adak.
