nika" v kampanjo, skusajoc pri-
kazati ga kot orodje v rokah

CTTY'S BIG FIRE
 FEBRUARY 1902
Chief Cavanaugh, Deputy Chief Bloomfield; Only
 Active Members Today

On a cold windy day, forty-two years ago yesterday, the most dew astating fire in Waterbury's history broke out about 6 o'cock in the Reid & Hughes Co. store on Bank street, now known as Howand- Hughes, Inc. and swept both sides of Bank street and spread to build ings on South Main and Grand streets.
 Apparatus and firemen arrived from Torrington, Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport, on railroad flat cars. Bremen battled the flames all Sunday night, all day Monday, Monday night and part of Tuesday before the fire was extinguished.
 Only two f1remen who fought that fire are still active members of the department. They are Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh and Deputy Stephen J. Bloomfield.
 At that time there were only three fire companies in the city all horse drawn steamers. Chief Cavanaugh was member of the old Rose Hill Volunteers and Deputy Bloomfield was callman at the Scovill street house.
