The fire had started start-ed in the back of Dick's Barber shop from hot ccals in ashes that had been deposited in a carton. Mr. Chinn discovered the fire when he went to tend his furnace furn-ace in the Mart basement. He immediately spread the alarm. The fire was exinguished by a fire-extinguisher used by Vic Pec-tol Pec-tol which he brought from the Dixie Drug store. Those who investigated the fire state that it might have become a very serious problem if it had not been discovered before it had made much of a start. Flames were rising to -a height of six feet or more when the fire was first seen, said Mr. Chinn. |
