The forest fire alarm Sunday caused
much excitement in the village, but
fortunately the fire at James Frost's on
the Waterford stage road was soon under
control. The municipal officers have
organized a fire brigade for the fighting
of forest fires. An alarm is sounded on
the fire alarm system and the men i'm
mediately assemble at given point.
That the system is a good one is shown
by the fact that every man was at his
post Immediately. The fire burned over
a few acres and word was telephoned to
the village that it was under control so
that the force did not leave the village.
Much credit is due the municipal officers
for the faithful and painstaking dis
charge of their duties in this respect.
