FIRE AT HANK
MILLER HOME
The Fire Deartment was called
Saturday afternoon to the home
of Hank Miller. Mr Miller's small
son phoned him that there was a
fire, and there was some delay be
fore the alarm was turned in.
Mrs. Wm. Maloney, a neighbor,
manager to get the Miller child
ren cut of the house before dan
ger threatened them, as Mrs. j
Mil’er was not at home at the j
time.
The front room of the house j
was gutted and the kitchen part*
ly damaged, but the two bed
j rooms escaped damage,
j The fire started in the north
east corner of the cache, and was
of unkown origin.
I There was no delay in the ar
rival of the Fire Department’s
truck at the scene and the water
it carried was used until the
water was turned into the main
line. There was however some
| delay in getting water to the fire
! and it -is understood the delay
was due to a leak in the dia
phragm of the gasoline pump —j
the only pumping engine at the
Nome Fire Department. The mo
tor was out of commission fifteen.
minutes—from the time the al-j
arm was receiver until the water
I started through the lines.
' The failure, it was said, was
purely mechanical, and the last
time the engine was tested, the
| entire pumping machinery was
j in good working order This fail
I ure is one that can happen at any
j lime, to any single piece of ma
chinery—therefore no person can
, be held responsible for such a
failure, it was stated.
It is understood that money
| was appropriated for an auxiliary
| pumping motor for the system
now installed, but why the equip
I ment has not been provided was
not explained. It is clear that
such a motor is necessary in or
! der to prevent further delays
due to mechanical failure.
