AN ELECTRIC WIRE
STARTS A ROOF FIRE
Contact With Water Spout Results
in Blaze at RosenfieId Build
ing on Third Avenue.

Fire was communicated to the roof
of the Rosenfield building. 1897
Third avenue, this afternoon at 1870
by an electric current caused by
contact of electric wires with a tin
water spout. The fire department
was called and the fremen encoun-
tered considerable. difficulty in reach
ing the source of the blaze. The wire
which was crossed on the water spout
was grounded and the source of fire
eliminated. The spout had conducted
the urrent to the tin roof, which was
covered with tar roofing. The blaze
on the roof extended for a distance OF
20 feet.
There was a near accident before
the arrival Of the department John
Paulsen had gone to the roof to assist
in putting out the fire. He reached
into the mouth of the water spout in
order to tear out the burning ma
terial. His hand came in contact with
the charged tin and he received
quite a shock. He was fortunate
enough, however, to loosen his grasp.
The damage caused by the fire was
nominal.
