a defective chimney. When members of
the Gaithersburg- Washington Grove VOL
unteer Fire Department arrived on the
scene, they found the roof of the two-story
frame house ablaze. There was no water
except the scant supply carried in the
booster tanks of the engines. Unable to
do anything toward saving the house. the
firemen bent their energies to rescuing the
furniture. The furniture on the first floor
and some from the second was saved.
The Rockville Fire Department arrived
later and the two departments laid out
about a mile of hose to a nearby creek
but the water arrived too late to save the
house.
