although the roof was burned
off when the boys arrived, and only
one line Of hose could be laid, the
fire was vxtiDguished in a very few
minutes, and probably two-thirds
of the value of the house was
saved.
Over a thousand feet of hose
were laid, taking all of the hose
from both reels, to get one stream

The fire was clearly the work of
an incendiary.
