During the electrical rain storm OF
last Thursday lightning struck and
set fire to the power plant building.
The blaze was discovered shortly at
ter it had started and an alarm turned
in. The firemcn were on the scene in
short time but owing to the fact
that the current which is furnished
from the plant at Fraser, had not
been turned off. water did not mix
very well with the high tension cleo
trio wires running into the transform
ers in the building. Thomas White,
who carried the water hose into the
building and attempted to eXtinguish
the flames. gave those on the outside
considerable anxiety for his safety
for a short time when he did not re-
spond to calls when water came in
contact with the high tension wires,
causing great illumination of fire
works. 1t was thought the current
had been conducted to the hose nezzle
through the water stream. Mr.. White
however. was not injured and while
he thought the fireworks were very
pretty. did not care to attempt the
feat again. -Ogden Reporter.
