ORIGIN OF BLAZE
UNKNOWN; LOCAL
DEPT. IS CALLED
Fire Is Discovered and Alarm
Sounded Shortly Before
Midnight Tuesday
is A COMPLETE LOSS
Redwood Falls Fire Department
Receives Call and Makes
Record Trip

With many people of the village of
Seaforth gathered at the polling
place during the process of vote
counting, fire was discovered in the
Farmers Elevator of that village. Be-
cause of the lack of sufficient hose
to reach from the hyrants to the
scene of the fire, the Redwood Falls
Department received call for help
at approximately 1900 p. m. The
raging blaze completely destroyed
the building.
Investigation of the cause of the
fire followed in which a report was
made to the effect that few minutes
previous to the sounding of the alarm,
farmer living near the elevator,
had passed and there was no blaze
at that time The origin of the fire
has not been determined.
When discovered, it is thought that
the blaze started near the driveway,
close to the entrance. Within short
time the fire had practically gotten
out of control of the Seaforth depart
ment, it was then that the Redwood
Falls Department was called
Upon arriving at the scene of the
fire the Redwood Department tried
to administer help, but the blaze had
such start and without the aid of
sufficient hose to run from the water
stations to the fire, little could be
done. The elevator was about half
burned to the ground at this time.
Two box cars standing on the track
near the elevator were also destroyed
by the flames. The elevator was
over half filled with grains, mostly
oats, although several carloads had
been shipped the day before.
Although the Redwood Falls Fire
Department did not sound the siren,
q large crew assembled at the sum-
mons of Chief Corbett and made a
record trip to Seaforth from the time
the alarm was given. The building
and grains destroyed were covered by
Insurance, although it could not be
learned if the coverage was partial
or complete.
