A FLOOD
OF FLAME
Burning Acids Floated
on Water.
Peculiar and Serious Fire at
Goodrich Plant.

Fire partially destroyed the interior
of the building used by the Dipping
department of the Goodrich Rubber
Co., Friday evening, shortly before
5:3O and caused damage to the extent
of $1,000. Several patches or rubber
gum we're destroyed and the machinery
was damaged considerably. The build.
ing in which the fire started is located
on Main ST., near the large new build
ing which has Just been completed.
! 1t was caused by the breaking of an
| electric light, sparks rom which
| ignited some rubber cement. The fire
soon spread through the room, and
barrels of acids which were standing
around soon caught fire and the entire
room of this department was a mass
or flames. The fire departments re-
sponded Immediately and began to
pour streams of water into the build
ing which seemed to have no effect
on the fire, as the great amount of
acids was continually feeding it.
The large amount of water turned
into the building soon over-tlowed the
floor and the water rushed out and
down the street, together with the
acids which were burning. The flood
became running mass of flames
which threatened the large building
nearby. Trenches were soon dug and
the water and burning acids turned
into the street The fire department
worked for over three hours and finally
got the fire under control. Walter
Reese, who is employed at the plant,
was overcome by fumes and was
found by firemen lying unconscious on
the floor Of the building. He was
taken to the hospital. Several other
employees were also overcome by the
fumes, but all will recover.
About the same time as the Good,
rich fire, an alarm was turned in from
box 80 and a general alarm sent in.
All the departments responded and the
last fire proved to be in the shoe store
of Mr.. r. ]. Whelan, at the corner of
Main and Bartges SITS 1t was caused
by the explosion Of a gasoline lamp.
Employees from the Goodrich Rubber
Co. were passing the store at the time
and rushed in and put it out. The
damage will amount to about 5000.
Mr.. Whclan was seriously burned
about the hands.

The orchard is not at its best. Fol
