Hart sounded an alarm to the neighborhood and tele- phoned New Britain for a fire truc ortunately a gathering at the Tabs 1 nearby furnished a supply of kers that tried to check the blaze. Inadequate equipment for a time enadled the flames to work un- hamperal until it was found that a hydrant on the Goss and DeLecuw property nearby would enable a hose to be srelched to the scene of the fire.

With the arrival of the New Brit- ain tuck, the fire was quickly put out vith chemica the volunteer endesvors having successfully check- ed the flames from spreading, and the lamage was confined to the rear parf of the house, destroving the back veranda and part of the rear pattition. Damage was estimated at £1200 by the owners of the pro- pecty. Incendiarism is suspected, as the fire occurred at a point impossible to be charged to faulty wiring or any cther of the usual causes. When discovered by Hart, the flames had not reached an Ngerous propor- tlons and it was through the lack of sultable equipment that the fire was not checked with only nominal loss- With the hose service on the flames, the fire was rapidly checked and it was only through the burst- ing of the volunieer's line that it was not put out altogether hefore the arrival of the Hardw paratus. The burst occurred near the nozzle of the house and drench- ed both the workers and hy-stande es. the pressure being much higher than | that of targer cities. The toss was completed covered by | insurance.
