A spark from the chimney set fire to
the building. A brisk northwest wind
blowing at the time made the fire dan

scene from town, the engine being
drawn by the Independent truck and
while the firemen did effective work
in preventing flames from reaching
other buildings, they were Handicapped
by the failure of the water supply.
