Central Falls Fire Brigade.
A number of Central Falls people are
summering at Narragansett Terrace for
the season, and early In the summer they
formed fire brigade for mutual proteo-
tion. The wisdom of this plan was made
manifest Monday last when the cottage,
"Tacketrasy," occupied by William Ray
mond OF this city, caught fire, and had,
it not been fcr the prompt assistance rem
dered by the amateur fire fighters Mr..
Raymond would have been minus a sum-
mer home. Mrs Raymond threw water,
as she, thought, from q bottle into pan
and .1fterward set the pan on 1he fire.
Instead OF being water 1t proved to be
benzine, and immediately the Kitchen was
eenyeloped in flames. G. A. McCallum, the
Central street druggist who occupies the
adjoining cottage, rendered valuable as
sistance In quelling the fire, and his
friends recognizing his fire fighting
abilities are thinking eeriously of putting
him against Chief Patt for chief engineer
of the home department.
