FIREMEN BUSY ON NEW YEAR'S; BIG TRUCK HITS AN AUTOMOBILE
The Clinton firemen had a busy time on the first day of the year.
Half a dozen alarms were turned in during the day, due to chimneys
burning out, or roofs ignited by sparks from chimneys.
At 12:30 in the afternoon the Fourth street truck collided with an
automobile driven by Joseph Waters, at Seventh avenue and Fourth
street. The truck was put out of commission for four hours, a light
and one fender having been smashed. The automobile was not badly
damaged. While the Fourth street truck was out of business the
Chancy fire company made the trip to the central station each time
an alarm came in.
Most of these alarms were turned in during the late hours of the
afternoon on New Year's day.
The department was called at 12:10 in the morning to the Richard
Welch home, 622 Sixth avenue, where a chimney fire was in progress.
There was no damage.
At 4:15 companies 1 and 3 and the truck were called to the William
Mulligan home, 415 North Fifth street. Lyons, where sparks from the
chimney had fired the roof, little damage resulting. At 4:45 fire of
the same origin brok out at the Yegge place, 714 South Seventh
street, Lyons, and the same companies responded to the call, holding
down the damage to $10.
An alarm came in a 4:45 p.m. from Ed Grabers resident, 225 Oak
street. Sparks from chimney had ignited the roof, and companies 1
and 2 and the truck responded to the alarm. The damage was about
$25.
at 5:15 in the afternoon a chimney fire brok out at Mrs. Schader's
residence, 916 South Eighth street, Lyons. There was no loss.
Another fire occurred yesterday at James Martins at 828 Olney avenue
where a chimney burned out without damage. Companies 2 and 4
responded to the alarm.
Shortley after 7 o'clock this morning the Fourth street fire
department was called to a chimney fire at the Kerwin place, 523
Eighteenth avenue. There was no damage.
FIRE DESTROYS JEFFRIES HOME
Fire of unknow origin was repsonsible for a loss of over $4,000 when
the L. M. Jeffries home at 720 South Bluff Boulevard was partially
destroyed about 10 o'clock Friday morning.
The blaze was first discovered in the roof, but it is thought that
it started in the main part of the house and worked up. However,
owing to a considerable amount of water in the basement the exact
cause could not be determined.
The united efforts of the firemen subdued the blaze and confined the
entire fire to the front part of the house, the back being almost
entirely intact. The interior of the house was badly damaged,
including much of the furniture.
The loss is entirely covered by insurance.
