Chimney Blaze In Scott's
Alley Thursday Afternoon

Just about the hour when the Po-
comoke City Volunteer Fire Depart
ment is called out for its monthly
practice on the first Thursday, real
alarm was sounded this week.
The fire was a slight one in "Scott's
Alley" A chimney blaze caused the
alarm; the chemical engine was soon
on the scene, but there was not much
need for it's services. It is probable
that the rain would have served as ar
extinguisher.
