Fire Endangers
Main Street Bldg.
Tuesday Morning
Fire burned a small storeroom
in the group of apartments above
the American Fruit Stand on Main
street, early Tuesday morning,
threatening several buildings in
that vicinity until it was discovered
by Sam Frady, who extinguished
it single-handed.
The room where It started was
part of the apartment where he,
his wife and small child live. Mr.
Frady discovered the fire when
he arose at his usual hour of 5:00
o'clock, and immediately set to
work throwing water from a filled
tub on the blaze. In about 45
minutes he had it out. Damage
had been confined to the small
room, although the fire had eaten
through the floor and would soon
have fallen to the main floor.
It is Mr. Frady's opinion that
faulty wiring was the cause, since
there was no heater in the room
that burned.
