CENTRAL FIREMEN
SET A NEW RECORD
IN FIGHTING FIRE

A new record was set by the men
Of the Moline Central station this
morning when they answered three
calls in succession, and went from
one fire to another without return
ing to the station, except to put on
a new line Of hose.
The first fire and the one that
caused the most damage vas at the
residence of Sol Hirsch, 1901
Twelfth avenue. Sparks from a
chimney set fire to the roof, and
before the blaze was discovered 1t
had burned through between the
attic walls and the rafters. A line
of hose was necessary to check the
fire, but the water damage to the
building will be small. The fire
damage to the roof will amount to
about 5000.
While the truck was answering
this call, an alarm came from the
A. L. Semelroth residence 1911
Railroad avenue. The aerial truck
responded to the call and extin-
guished the roof fire there by the
use Of chemicals. However, the
Central truck reached the fire be-
fore it was out and returned to the
station as call came from the
Louis Anderson residence. 242S
Sixth avenue. 1t was a roof fire,
and chemicals were used to extin-
guish the fire, which caused q NOM
inal loss.
