Show Freak Fire Extinguishes Itself Monday The Delta Volunteer Fire Department De-partment just went through the motions last Monday when it was called to a fire in the Sherman Talbot house. The fire was started by some gasoline thrown into a stove by the Ferry boy which quickly spread throughout the room. He ran outside to get a bucket of water, but when he went to throw it into the room the flames drove him back. He slammed slam-med the door and called the department. de-partment. The fire fighters got there plenty plen-ty quick, but in some mysterious manner the fire had "put itself out." Gasoline was still in the can. unhurned, and the room badly scorched. Flames bad gone through a broken window and part of the roof was still smoldering. This was taken care of, but the mystery remained re-mained as to how the f,re went out by itself. |
