HARRINGTON

The Harrington Fire Company
along with other rural fire companies
in lower Delaware were kept busy
the past few days when the tempera-
ture suddenly dropped below freez-
ing. The local company responded
/ to three alarms and were recalled
on the fourth call before the COM
pany left quarters. The most seri-
GUS alarm was the first one shortly
after s o'clock when the company
responded to the home of W. ID.
Scott about a mile South OF Harring-
ton, adjoining the fair grounds. Mr..
Scott is owner of the Quality Poultry
Farm, his hatchery, a cement block
building, was completely destroyed
together with most of the contents.
Only three crates of broilers out of
a lot of three hundred were removed
from one end of the building before
ii was burned. A pet dog was
burned to death. besides the live
stock. the heaviest loss is on the
equipment. Modern type incubators
that cost $4,000 were destroyed, there
were three in the building. Over 500
in cash and all records were de-
stroyed when the Office burned The
fire seemed to have started in the
office according to Mr.. Scott. Mr..
Scott and a helper were i'm one of
the incubators placing eggs. De-
tecting something wrong with the
electrical equipment, he investigated.
only to discover the office on fire.
The nearest water spigot was frozen
and before he could secure a flow
of water the fire had gained much
headway. The Carlisle Fire Com
pany responded on the call of Mrs.
Scott and aided the local company.
Their driver suffered a frozen face
in making the run to Harrington. !
Flying embers set fire to the grass
within the fair grounds. but the
grass fire was quickly extinguished
