The lamp exploded and set the D0une on ire The local department 5was called and after sharp fight tD1cceded in subduing the flames Nghen che 1remen- reached the. scene Efhe whole interior of the house wal dn flames. An Of the family escaped Headi1y. The total damage will not @xceed $sDos Some officious individua called mp the Bridgeport department and asked for assistance. There was ID time at which the local department Na9 not able to cope with the fire end an the apparatus in the Park fbe local firemen did. It is believed 4hat the practice of calling up the Bridgeport department every time tbere is a firesin town is the work o1 sesmies of the local department or ,of some of the dremen. No one ex- copt the chief is authorized to call fol aqaistance and interference with the Apartment in it's work is punishable 6y q fine and Imprisonment. It will Ae safe for the interlopers to "keep eR the grass" in the future or suf- fer the consequences.
 The reliability of the local auto- Oheinical seems to have escaped the notice of residents of the town but lt was the cause of comment from a kfavelling man who visits the town A6y: eI have occasion to visit all the Gnne1l towne in the biggest part of th1D and pert of New York state every H1W~ ~Rao1ks. Many of these towns have tocently put in auto-chemical engines Dut in every other town I hear more br I6oD complaint about the machine 14uftng It critical time. I don't near nmY such complaint here and the town - fortunate either in having a good machine, or men who know how to e<sep 1t in order; Since the Fairfield 0f commisoion much of the time. Oth- TT towns have the same trouble" The kAet is that during the 14 months since fhe machine WAs in6talied it has nev- pe halked and has always responded thn& tlyne 1t has saved a large amount bf psUDerty the amount of which can- not bo estimated. The only expensive nPoo have been the result of lack of kdoo 0r delay fin notifying the depart nent in time to give. the chemical a has fully justified the predictions of ltt friends, and within its limitations lt has done its work thoroughly.
