FGE.-Last Monday abouti12 o'clock,
during heavy gale of wind, the cry of
fire was raised, causing every one to
shudder to think of its danger to the
town. The fire was found to proceed
from the house formerly occupied by
John Dowell, which has been empty for
some time. and that occupied by Mrs
Armer and her family. just three min
utes after the alarm was sounded Phoebe
Hose Company had their connection
made and water on the fire, which was
quickly extinguished. Protection Hose
made their connection but not in time to
do any service. The FIRE is supposed to
have been caused by a spark from the
chimney of Armer's house falling on
that of Dowel's, setting it fire and
causing the first named house to catch
fire. A large lot of household utensils
were removed from the house while it
was burning but were replaced after the
fire was extinguished. Whilst on this sub
jecs we might say that when an alarm of
fire is sounded all should make to the
hose companies houses to try and get the
apparatus to the place burning as soon
as possible and not run right direct to
the fire, as the hose and water is q
much more effective way of extiBguish-
ing fire than that OF having lot of men
standing around yelling at the top of
their voices.
