Bremen who answered the alarm for o smokey fire in the storehouSe of the Hadley Furniture company ct i03 Meadow street ct l0;S0 o'clock last night had more to con" tend with than the outside locking on public" dreamed was the case.
 Tn the first place, the building is 0 six story brick affair, running along the front or south side of Meadow street for Q distance of 100 feet. Inside in the rear, in the southwest part, is 0 freight elevator running from the first to the top floor. Each floor has Q fire door to the elevator, and also one guard rail. But last night the guard rails had not been "let down." not on the third floor anyway, and none Of the fire doors tripped.
 Plenty of Smoke
 Acting Deputy Fire Chief Martin J, Campion with Engine 10 under Lieut.. James J. Cavanaugh, and Truck company No. 1, with Capt. "Shooty" Kelley commanding, and Engine 3 under Capt. Thomas Wil- ton first responded to 0 telephone call ct 0:23 ?. m. standard time. They found the big building full Of smoke, emanating from all parts of the interior. Tho glass of the front door was broken, and the bolt on the heavy door pushed back. The watchman for the Waterbury Far rel Foundry O., Michael Sheehan, pulled the companys private box. and this brought Deputy Chief Thomas Cavanaugh, Engines 2, {, 6 and ii and Trucks 2 and 3. In the meantime, on account of the dis- trlct, Box 3i2 at the corner of Mea- dow and Bank St. was also pulled, but was not sent out by headquar- ters. The fire marshal and his aid, Private Eugene I.cgge, responded on the box alarm.
 Crawled On Floor
 Chief Cavanaugh and his aide, Private Frank Moore, pulled teem- selves up the fire escape on the east side, front, going in through the window, but being compelled to crawl on their stomachs the full length of the long floor, through the binding and suocating smoke to the seat of the fire, where acting Deputy Chief Campion and Engine 10 were located. The actual fire was in a large wooden box filled with excel- s,or and rubbish from the repair de- partment of the Hadley company. 1t started in the base of the box, and must have been smouldering, the marshal said, for some time. When 1t broke into flame, three sprinkler heads popped and doused 1t. But the smoke in the meantime had permeated every inch of all floors.
 In crawling about the place, var ious firemen on account of the darkness of the place, had narrow escapes from toppling into the ele- yator pit. One or two were at the edge before they realized their dan gerous position.
 Small Damage
 The fire itself, according to the marshal, did little damage. The building proper escaped without any damage in the least. Much care was used by the firemen in wetting down the blaze and what water damage there was came from the sprlnklers themselves.
 Ignition from combustion was the cause as given by the fire marshal. who estimated the entire damage
