awhile threatened the Garrick Thea

butcher stores had been damaged
and some scenery owned by Manager

When the first apparatus arrived a
chemical stream was used, but it was
some time before the firemen got
water on the blaze. Lines OF hose
were laid, but for some reason there
was a delay in turning on water.
Fire Chief Ainscow and Edgar
3lackiston were on their way home
when they discovered smoke coming
rom the Hey meat store and q
building or tunnel leading to one
stage entrance. Chief Ainscow inves-
igated and found the rear of the
building in flames. Chief AinscOw
directed Blackiston to send an alarm

The alarm caused a large crowd
gather and during the excitement
some one tampered with the fire

corded on the indicators in the fire
houses. This caused a number OF
other companies to respond
The blaze soon after the arrival OF
the firemen broke from the Hey meat
store and clouds Of smoke rolled into
The Garrick Theatre which adjoins
The damaged buildings.
For awhile It was thought the
flames had ignited this building bu
a careful examination by Walter
Smith and other theatre employees
showed that the fire doors in the real

flames getting into the theatre. Ow

and a fear of the fire spreading, ac
