The alarms were sent in from Box 75, at Pierce and Dayton street, and firemen hurried to the fire house in response. Orcinarily only the Cyclones would respond. This ap- paratus had hardly rolled out when in came the second alarm and the Rhode Island Ones and Alert Hook and Lad- der responded and the people in the whole fire district became more or less excited. Fred Egger, one of the as- sistant chiefs,. mounted his bicycle aft- er the first round and rode direct to the box, just as a boy had pulle! down the catch for the second alarm. Assistant Egger was told that the fire was in a house in Pierce street. He hurried there and learnel that there bad been a chimney fire a half hour before, and when he arrived the fami- Iy were at breakfast. The fire de- partment was quickly at the house fully equipped for fire duty, but there was no work for the fire laddies.
