The Florence daily tribune., 1902-01-03
Early Morning Fire.

Fire broke out at o'clock this
morning in "A coal shed on the
south side of the alley from the
rear of George Wilson's hardware
store, and the flames quickly spread
to the adjoining barn owned by
Edwin Lobach and occupied by
the firm of Smith q Price.
In the barn was quantity of
hay, two horses and COW, all of
which were rescued from their
perilous position. The barn was
not damaged to any great extent,
but the coal shed was burned to
ashes
The fire department responded
but either through excitement or
lack of knowledge in operating the
hose and cart those in charge of
the apparatus, started from the
fire and run TO the fire plug and in
this manner got the nozzle end of
the hose where the end attached
to the fire plug should be. thus
delaying the work of putting out
the blaze
The Florence daily tribune., 1902-01-03
Designate the Fire.

Is the new fire whistle connected
with the steam pipe on the power
house in proper manner? There
were several hundred people in
Florence last night who never
heard the alarm. AS The TRIBUNE
understands it, this whistle is
guaranteed to be heard for several
miles, but last night nearly half the
population in West Florence say
that it could not be heard there.
If there have been any errors in
connecting up the whistle, they
should be remedied at once. The
mocaing bird whistle in Pueblo is
not nearly so large as this one and
its sound can be heard in all parts
of that city.
Then another thing Florence is
divided into three wards, and it is
customary in other towns to have
certain fire signal designating
the location of the fire. Why
can not Florence have the same?
