FIRE ALARM SATURDAY
The Fire Deparment was called
to the residence of Robert Eling
nak Saturday morning, at 5th
Ave. and E Street, when his stove
and smoke stack started burning.
Fire Chief Bob Oliver said that
the fire was brought under con
trol by the CO-2 in the patrol
car before the fire truck arrived.
This arrangement of having the
fire calls go to the patrol car
saves precious time in case of
fire, as was proven in this case.
Chief Oliver also reported that
the old Ford fire truck has been
put into commission again as the
stand-by fire truck and the Chev- |
rolet fire truck retired and is for
sale.
