Show FIRE EXTINGUISHED UNDER DIFFICULTIES Eight hundred feet of hose was used to light tlames at the home of Mrs. Ellen Morrison, 224 West Sixth North street, early yesterday evening, but despite this handicap the central fire department was able to extinguish the flames before the loss amounted to more than $25. Klght hundred feet is considerably more than the length of a oitv block. According Accord-ing to Chief W. H. Bywater last night, the pressure of the water from the hydrant hy-drant was heavy enough to meet the emergency nicely. The fire occurred at 7 o'clock. It consumed con-sumed only a part of the roof of the home. |
