Sunday was a busy day for our
firemen and an anxious day for the
entire community, as we had two
disastrous fires and quite serious
chimney fire at w L Porter's. About
$50 in the forenoon the alarm was
sounded for fire in the pine grove,
when William Hall lost his house
with all its furnishings, as he was
away from home at the time. In
the evening the company was again
called out for fire in the barn be-
longing to Allie Adams. The barn
was completely destroyed but the
stock was saved. Much credit is due
the fire company for saving the near
by buildings in each instance and
Fairlee certainly owes the Oxford
fire company a vote of thanks for
their quick response to our call OF
need-both morning and evening, for
it was a terrible night to be called
out and the wind made travelling
almost impossible.
