Nome Market Warehouse
Destroyed by Fire,
Volunteers Save Store
Many residents were surprised
to learn this morning that serious
fire had occurred in the early
morning, destroying the stock
room and warehouse as well as
the cold storage unit of the Nome
Market owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Herb Jenks. The warehouse ad
joined the market.
The fire was reported by Bill
Higgins, who saw the smoke about
two o’clock this morning and he
notified the fire department. How
ever no alarm could be sounded
as the power line had been short
as the power line, which also sup
plied the fire station, had been
shorted out by the fire. Volunteer
firemen were alerted by the local
switch board operator as well as
the military fire department from
Nome Field and the fire was soon
brought under control.
Loss was estimated by the own
ers at about $10,000.
