The village was for a time threatened with destruction. The flames, start- ing in the rear of the opera house, spread so rapldly that Gowanda's volunteer fire fighting force of 155 | men was entirely fnadequate to cope with them., Fire companies from Salamanca, Silver Creek, Spring- ville, Colling Center and Little Val- ley, equipped with chemical engines and pumpers, arrived shortly after the fire got beyond ccntrol. All Night Fight The battle against the flames which were sweeping along two streets lasted from 1 a. m. when the flames were first discovered, until nearly five o'clock this morning, he- fore the blaze was declared under control. To the timely arrival of rein- forcements from surrounding vil- lages is credited the saving of the remainder of the village. The fire- men, although handicapped by dark- ness throughout most of the fight, due to the burning of power wires, did not have to cope with any wind. A creek running through the village within a hundred yards of the center of the fire furnished abundant wa- ter for the pumpers. No Serious Injuries, No injuries, other than slight burns and bruises received by fire- men in the course of the battle, were reported. Suffigient warning was given for all occupants of the seven business buildings, four resi- dences and several apartments, to make their way out safely, Chief of Police Westing, who occupied an apartment {n one of the burned bus- iness blocks, lost all personal effects, He entered the , building at the neight of the blaze and saved the police records.
