NO FIRE IN
NEARLY 3 YEARS
It has been nearly three years
since Franklin witnessed its last fire.
.Shortly after that blaze, considerable
fire fighting equipment was purchased.
:Since that time, . this equipment has
iheeii usedin fire dirlls. ,
It had been so long since a fire
here that, Tuesday afternoon, when
the siren issued its shrill cry 'of alarm,
the town turned out en masse to view
the blaze turned out, only to be dis
appointed. The lire was in an old gullcy, used
as the municipal dumping ground! Re
fuse got afire, and it was thought
for a few moments that nearby hous
es were ,cndangercd. The fire de
partment was called out purely, as a
precautionary measure.
Franklin folk, apparently, must wait
awhile to experience the thrill of a
destructive five. Meanwhile, this
town's enviable record of almost three
lireless years remains intact.
