TO EXTINGUISH A BLAZE
Novel Fire Brigade Does Effective
Work on Burning Building In
the Mission District.

Twenty men and boys armed with
syphon bottles were instrumental in
saving an entire block from destruction
by fire in the Mission District late yes
terday afternoon. e. II. Norman, sec
retary Of soda and mineral water
concern on Howard street, left the
business office of the company and re-
tired to the room Of the president
which is in the rear of the building
AS he opened the door of the room he
noticed flames leaping from a barn
which closely adjoins the factory. CALI
ing to the worlkmen to get together,
he ordered them to bring on filled sy-
phons and tanks of carbonated water,
which was the only liquid available
at the time.
Five onice boys rushed to and fro
Juggling heavy crates of syphons to
fifteen employees of the company, who
were doing their utmost to extinguish
the flames as they leaped from the
barn. Tank after tank and bottle after
bottle of the charged mineral water
was applied. 1t was not until the
flames had been brought under control
that the fire engines arrived upon the
scene.
d. Landau, president of the soda COM
pany, was in his office conversing with
the manager when the fire broke out,
but as their backs were turned they
did not notice the flames until 1their
attention was called to them by Nor
man
Landau rushed out of his office, and,
grabbing ladder broke open the back
door and placed the ladder against the
blazing barn. He then mounted it..
and, assisted by two of his men, turned
stream from one of the huge tanks
on the burning structure. Six hun
dred gallons of the carbenated water
were used, exhausting the entire sup
ply and compelling orders all over
the city to be delayed.
