GOOD WORK.
The Fire Department stops a
Threatening Fire Satur.
day Evening. RI

About $3.50 a blaze was discovered
in one of the lumber piles in the East
side yard of the Pine Tree company,
and an alarm was promptly sent In.
The fire was near the bottom of the
pile, and those who arrived first
threw water and snow upon it, and
prevented it from making much pro
gress. The chemical engine was the
first of the city department to arrive,
and stream was atonce turned on.
The hose line soon after reached the
scene, and the water from the n.y.
drants promptly settled any chance
the fire had. AS the fire had made
some prog ress into the pile of lumber.
a large force of men were set at work
tearing down the pile. The firemen
remained on the ground until the
lumber had all been handled over,
and until there was no possibility OF
any lingering sparks reviving the fire.
1t was nearly midnight when the
hose companies returned to the city
hall.
One IF the Pine Tree company
hose companies was prompt to re-
spond with it's cart and hose and
assisted in getting a line to the fire.
The efficiency of the city and Pine
Tree company's fire departments
was demonstrated, and the prompt
work of both again showed that
Little Falls is well prepared for fight
ing fire. The water pressure was
supplied promptly.
lifelong distance from the city hall
to the part of the city in which the
fire occurred again called attention
to the advantage of Il hose house in
the northern part of the city. 1t
would he a great benefit to the city
if the fire protection facilities in the
northern and northeastern part Of
the city could be increased, but tie
financial condition at present renders
any such plans impracticable.
