DISASTROUS FOR NAUSAU
The Pumping Station of the Wdusau Water Works a
Mass Of Chared Ruins Destroyed Early
Saturday Morning.

All that stood of the building at four
O'Clock were the brick walls. AT this
time the city was without water; the
large new pump was under much
water and debris; the two old pumps,
which had been kept in order foreuse
in case anything happened to the
new one were also under considerable
debris. A crew Of men was soon at
work clearing away the ruins and
pumping the water out, and as the
boilers were unframed, water was
again being pumped into the mains,
by seven O'Clock, sufficient to supply
the city, which was extremely lucky
under the conditions.
The loss to the city is not known
yet but it will run up into many
thousands of dollars with not one
cent OF insurance
OF course the work of rebuilding
will be pushed as rapidly as possible,
but the city authorities should build
SO well this time shat there never
could be REPETITION of the fire on Sat-
urday morning no matter whether
there was a man on the premises or
not. This car be done, and one end
to it, accomplishment is to put in
an independent sprinkling system.
This should be done at whatever cost
and other necessary Improvements
made which should make the station
absolutely flreproof as upon that relies
the safety of our city.
NOTES.
One man telephoned the depart
ment in the morning asking why the
water had been cut off at his resi-
dence. A reply came back that he
had been sprinkling after hours and
he said, "turn it right on and ] will
be down and SETTLE" 1t so happened
that it was turned on about that
time and the customer was none the
wiser until he came down town.
Street sprinkling was stopped, but
as water was being pumped as early
as seven O'Clock there was no reason
for this and the wind storm which
ragged between 11:00 and II o'clock,
made orr city one mass OF dust and
in even closed rooms, dust was thick
upon the furniture. Street sprinkling
was resumed in the afternoon.
Saturday morning made one think
of the time of the flood few years
ago, when the pumping station was
compelled to close down without
notice OH account of the raise in the
river. Everybody in the city was
rushing around with pals after water.
A new iron rocf is to cover the
pumping station, in lieu of any other
material for change and perhaps
then the building will be safer from a
like destruction. It's wonder that
hadn't been thought of before to
avoid this unnecessary expense.
As soon as the pumps at the station
ceased work, the pumps of the Curtis
& Yale Co., which are arranged to
supply water TO the mains in Just
such al emergency, were started.
This gave those or the west side a
fairly good supply.
The Board of Water Commissioners
held meeting in the forenoon and also
in the afternoon, to make preparations
for repairing the station
Many of the factories, not being
able to get water early insthe morn
ing, closed for the day.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1914-08-11

at about 1:30 o'clock last Saturday
morning fire alarm was sounded by
the Jacob Mortenson Lumber COM
pany's mill whistle. After waiting a
few minutes the whistle blew again
sharp and quick, waking many OF our
people. A moment thereafter the
fire bell sounded an alarm, it having
been sent in by the Jacob Mortenson
Lumber Co. AS the bell was rung
only few times, it was thought the
fire was small one and no anxiety
was felt. In the morning VIXEN cur
people tried to get water from their
faucets none was forthcoming. The
truth, even then did not dawn upon
them. Later the whole city was
aware of the catastrophy which had
befallen our water works, and at the
early hour of six o'clock it was not
certain that any water could be had
from the mains until noon and posi-
bly, later, and all kinds of rumors
were afioat to the effect that the en-
tire plant was destroyed; that no
ter could be had for several days,
etc.
THE FIRE.
At l:30 the station was discovered
to be on ire and the alarm sent in as
stated. The various departments
were on hand as quickly as it was
possible to get there, but even at that
time the fire had made such Roadway
that there was little chance Of saving
the building. The large new pump
continued to do its work notwith-
standing the fierce fire raging all
about it, and this too even after
the roof had cayed in. The station
that night was in charge of Chas
Boerke, engineer and son HelmerI
Boerke, fireman. The latter made a
statement that he had just replen-
ished the fire and adjusted things
wnen he went into the pit to talk to
his father, when he returned he found
the doors of the boilers open and the
shavings in front all ablaze. He
called his father and an attempt vas
made to close the doors of the sfav-
ings room but this they could not
accomplish on account of the fierce
ness of the fire. The father substan-
tiates tn story of his son and both
say that at times the boiler in which
shavingS are used seems to have
an accumulation of gas, an ex-
plosion of which has many times
blown the doors open with much
force and this no doubt happened
when the fireman was away from his
post on Saturday morning. Whether
this was the actual cause of the fire
no one knows. The fire rapidly COM
municated with the shayings and
coal in the shed which is separated
from the boiler room by fireproof
doors, which=were at this time open
and from there to the roof of the
rooms in which the pumps were
located. When the fire depart
ments arrived the shed was past
saving, the steam power steadily
went down, giving reduced
pressure until practically no water
was being thrown. One steamer
was brought into play, but it did
not have supply of coal and when
finally under steam, there being no
platform arranged for it at the
river, the end of the suction pipe
was imbedded in mud, SO there was
a long delay and the consequences
was that all that could be burned of
the station was licked up by the
flames. The building is of solid
brick with slate roof, supported by
timberS and boards BEL cath the slate.
