Last Monday evening at few minutes
past 8 O'Clock fire was discovered in one
of the cab factory buildings just across
the river from Montpelier on the Berlin
side, and an alarm Immediately given.
The fire was in the second wood building
from the bridge, and occupied, the first
floor as a machine shop, the second floor
as wood shop, and the third floor as
store room. The fire started on the second
floor, and when discovered was under
such Roadway that nothing could be
removed from the room
The fire department was promptly on
hand, and hose was attached to the pump
in the basement of the burning building,
but it was some time before it got stream
of water on the fire. In the meantime a
stream was got from the pump in Baiey's
mill and from engines No. 4 and 5, which
were placed on the ice near the burning
building Some time was lost in cutting
holes through the ice for the engines
which got to work about the same time.
No threw one and No. two streams,
and both engines were kept steadily at
work until To-: 30, when the fire was got
under control and the engines allowed 10
90 home; but the streams from the pumps
were kept playing on the building until
1870 O'Clock in the morning, when the
last trace of fire had heen extinguishd
The location of the fire, the large guam
tity Of eombustible material in the room
in which it broke out, and the steep tir
roof Of the building, which rendered it
impossible to get Il stream on the fire in
the third story until the roof had fallen in,
all tended to tax the firemen to the ut
most and give currency to the belief that
the whole of the buildings must go As
it was the brick walls between the BALD
ings together with the excellent manage
ment and working of our fire department,
confined it to the building in which it
broke out with the exception that it had
got quite hold in the paint shop at one
time. The night was bitterly cold one,
