.S0uND TWO AL ARMS FOR $500 BLAzF
Department Out in Force for
 Fire in Wooden Shed

A frame construction shed at the Vance school on Steele street. used
 by the Hayes Construction Co, as
 an office and storehouse, was de- stroyed by fire this afternoon short ly before ? o'clock. So spectacular was the blaze, famed by the high wind. that an unidentified person sent in second alarm calling out additional apparatus.
 The fire was started it is thought from an overloaded pot-stove in
 which a fire was burning in the office at the north end Of the build ing. It is thought that the strong draft carried the blaze into the pipe which went through the roof and overloaded it thus starting the woodwork going.
 The building was covered with tar paper and being highly inflammable, only a few minutes elapsed before the entire structure was roaring mass of flames. Fortunately the wind was blowing from the north. away from the school which is un- der construction. eliminating the possibility of q more serious confa- grafton.
 Fire companies No. 6, 4. and 2 responded to the first alarm with Deputy Chief Michael T. Souncy in charge. First Chief William J. Noble also responded and only 9 short time after lines Of hose Were playing on the place, the fire was brought under control and all dan. ger of a spread wiped out. Surprise was expressed when Hook and Lad der Go. No. l and other apparatus began 10 arrive on the scene.
 Workmen on the school building saved a quantity of brass pipe in the building and also managed 10 save their coats from destruction. About s200 worth Of cement in bags was destroyed or badly damaged by the fire and water. The entire damage did not amount to over $500 according 10 an estimate by Chief Noble.
