Saturday Night Blaze On Fer

With Six Calls In Fifteen
Hour Period ~

Famed by the high wind of Satur-
day night, IRE which originated in the
barn from an unknown cause. spread
rapidly Tor the house owned By II. ].
0Brien Of Renfrew. Ontario. which Is
situated on the Ferry road in Chelsea.
ana when the Augusta flremen arrived
they found II impossible 70 save either
Of the buildings. They were unoccu-
pied At the time and the theory is ad-
vanced that there may have been
tramps in the barn and that the hay
became ignited from q cigarette or
match carelessly thrown away. .,
The loss was estimated at about
$4,000. which included the value Of
some 10 tons Of hay in the barn and
numerous farm implements. There
were but few furnishings in the house.
The Augusta IRE department receiv-
cd this call at 7.ss from the home Of
VIII Taber near there, and the chem
ical truck at once responded. When
the hremen arrived the entire set Of
buildings was in flames and nothing
could be done to extinguish the flames.
The blaze spread to the tall grass
! about the buildings and the firemen
were obliged to fight to keep them
from getting to nearby woods.
Embers from the burning buildings
were carried by the strong winds
| across the Kennebec river and 1t Is un-
derstood that force OF men was
obliged to patrol the property Of the
Standard OIL Co. in Hallowell to keep
blazes from starting there. The en-
bers also fell abo 1t the Androscoggin
& Kennebec car barn on lower State
street.
A large number OF automobiles were
attracted to the ferry road by the spec
| tacular blaze and veritable traffic
jam soon resulted. So closely were
the cars packed and in such a heller
| SHELTER manner that It was fully an
hour before the road could be cleared
| Five Other Calls for Department
| This was but one of six calls an
swered by the Augusta firemen be-
tween o'clock Saturday evening and
1880 Sunday morning. The first was
at 7.05 Saturday evening for an auto
mobile fire. The car belonging to Ben
Cote caught fire from a short-circuited
wire and the firemen were obliged to
use one chemical. sLittle damage was
done 10 the car.
| At 935 the same evening they were
called to Is Bridge street to a house
| occupied by Arthur Leighton. This
was chimney blaze and was easily
eftinguished by the use Of a small
chemical. No damage was done.
At I o'clock Sunday morning a tele-
phone call was received that the How.
ard street dump was blazing danger
ously. The chemical truck responded
and the large chemical tank was used
to auell the blaze.
The next call was at S.25 A. NJ. ia
the John Coughlin drug store. where
a chimney was burning out. The fire.
men were forced to rip a hole in the
chimney and soaked II down. A mason
was at once called and he was obliged
to tear down more of the chimney. He
uncovered further flames in the fiue
and the fire department was again
called at 1920 to finish the blaze. A
total OF eight small extinguishers were
used to extinguish the flames.
