.FIREMEN ANSWER FIRST
CALL TO EAST ATLANTA
City Department Made Maid
en- Run to New District on
Monday Morning

For the first time since being incorpo-
rated as a part of the city of Atlanta
the citizens of East Atlanta called out
the Atlanta fire department Sunday
morning at IL o'clock to extinguish a
blaze in the residence of J. T. Roberts,
and well did the department do it's full
duty.
When the fire alarm was turned in the
fire ladies at department No. 10 respond
ed promptly and within the short space of
just II minutes were at the scene of the
fire and throwing water on the blaze.
Considering the long distance the depart
ment had to make, the run is considered
record breaker. 1t was only the prompt
answering of the fire alarm that saved
a number of buildings in the vicinity of
the fire, as a high wind was blowing in
the direction OF a number OF stores and
residences.
East Atlanta has been a part of Atlanta
now for almost one year. but not until
Sunday morning was IL found necessary
TO appeal to the city for help in extin-
gushing a fire. This is considered a re-
markable record.
The residence which was damaged by
fire is the property OF Marbut & Minor
and is next to their store. The fire orig
mated on the roof and spread rapidly
until the arrival of the department. The
damage is estimated at $500, with insur-
ance
