Slight Blaze in
Pine Tree Restaurant
Early Monday A. M.

An alarm for fire from Box "a at
5.45 Monday morning called the de-
partment to the Pine Tree restaurant
at the west end of the Kennebec
bridge. where a fire on the floor near
a partition in the rear had been dis
covered by Patrolman Dostie, who
quickly sizing up the situation and
realizing that an adequate force of
firemen would be needed with the
apparatus. pulled in the alarm.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene the fire was just working into
the sheathing partition. 1t had not
gained great Roadway and was eX-
tinguished with the use of the chem
ical equipment. The fire had evil
IDENTIFY started from a hot coal drop
ping through the CRATE door of a
small water heater. 1t had Smould-
cred away for some little time and
burned a small hole in the floor be-
fore it was discovered by Patrolman
DoStie, whose quick action in sending
in the alarm probably averted more
serious damage. The Pine Tree res
taurant is managed by Peter La
vasseur. The extent of the damage
could not be definitely determined,
but it will be very small.
In the afternoon the chemical truck
was called to the woodworking shop
of Frank Madorc whore a small fire
had started about the chimney which
is situated on the outside of the
building and had eaten through the
partition. The damage here was
slight.
