Last Thursday afternoon about four
o'clock an alarm of FIRE was sent in
from the Manning Electric plant, when
it was discovered to be burning. The
FIRE department responded promptly
and through their hard work, the
plant was saved with very small dam
age. Undoubtiy the new auto truck
which has only been in service a few
weeks. has proven to be one OF the best
investments our city has ever made. II
this fire had gained two or three more
minutes headway, MIR. Harvin the
owner of this property, would have
been several thousand dollars losser,
out within three and a half minutes
from the time the alarm was sent 10,
there we're three streams OF water
plaving on the fire, due absolutely to the
speed of the truck. The boys deserve
much credit for the way they handled
this fire, in fact. the writer was told
by q gentleman from Atlanta, that the
company did as we'll as paid city de-
partment, which is very high COM
pliment.
