 Local Bremen

Bremen reported today that the fire hazard caused by the collapse of a 15,000-gallon tank of kerosene at the Sinclair Refining Co.,, on Porter street, had been eliminated.

 Recorded

Their apparatus stalled in heavy snowdrifts, firemen plowed on, foot through the snow late yesterday aft- ernoon to battle fire in the cellar of the home of Mrs. Martha E. Adams, on Grassy Hill road. While five engines were stuck in the snow, a fire broke out in the attic of three-family dwelling on James street, with three companies going to the scene.
 The engines progressed up a con- siderable distance on the steep slopes of Bucks Hill road, but could not get any nearer than half mile away from the Adams home, Acting Deputy Chief Stephen Bloomfield ordered that the engines be aban- doned and firemen blow through to the home on foot.
 Using hand extinguishers, f1remen quickly quelled the blaze, which be- gan when an overloaded furnace set fire to a wooden partition in the cellar. Mrs. Adams, aided by Thomas Kelley, 63; and George Sel- iski, 78, hired men on her poultry farm, battled the fire with water and snow until firemen arrived. A car parked in the cellar was dam- aged.
 The companies answering the alarm were from headquarters, Bur- ton street and Walnut street. After extinguishing the fire, the firemen were able to turn the apparatus around and return to their stations.
 The fire on James street was of unknown origin. Damage was con- fined to the attic. The blaze was discovered by Mrs. Nicholas DeVito, mother of eight children, who re- sides on the third floor of the dwell ing. The building is owned by Peter Toma.

Building Inspector Patrick Car lin, who went immediately to the scene, said the marquee weighed about three tons. He supervised its removal from the scene. Fire Mar shal Den Lahey took part in the in vestigation, while Capt. William Duggan directed police at the scene.
 The weight of the snow, plus that of the men engaged in clearing it, was believed responsible for the col- lapse of the marquee. The entrance to the theater was blocked, and while the marquee was being re- moved theater patrons used the exit on the Phoenix avenue side.
 Mrs. Fleming was reported in fair condition at the hospital today. Police said it was almost miracu- lous that several or more persons had not been pinned under the marquee as it fell.
