Sight for Residents of Marcus Avenue, Danbury. _ A, burning apple tree mear a barn Bt 10 Marcus avenie, Danbury, the afternoon, made a spectacular at and furnished sport for the fire- who responded to a telephone call in to the fire headauarters. When the firemen arrived smoke was pduring from.séveral knotholes in the tree and a8 a 1imb extended in the direc- “tion" of* the barn which was filled with y, there tas danger of a brisk blaze. One of the athletes connected with 'X‘ru:,‘k 1 climbed the tree and poured | the contents of three extinguishers down the interior of the trunk. This 4did not check, the blaze, and then a saw- was brought Into requisition and a 1imb was cut off which left an aperture through which water was poured until the fire was put out. Chief Lounsbury said that in his opinion the fire was caused by a fam- dly of squirrels, who had smuggled a match into their home and might have attempted to prepare a boiled dinner, but the most acceptable theory is that sparks from a bonfire that was burn- ing nearby had been wafted to the hol.
