Show Firemen Get to Six Fires During Past Two Week Period Six fires kept the Pleasant Grove Fire Department busy during the past week and a half, and the firemen were called out more times than in the past month. On April 1 Max Bond had a haystack fire at 155 North 1200 West and the entire stack burned, loss $2500. On April 3 they had a dry run to Norton's Food Store, where a possible furnace fanbelt slippage caused a smell, but no damage. On April 5 a grass fire was worked on in Cedar Hills and April 6 another grass fire at Ronella Fillerup's, 799 South Main. Also on April 6, Frank Merryweather, 1148 East 900 South, had a fire in his wrecked cars loaded on a trailer. They were valued at $50 and the loss was $50. After the storm this week gets over, Chief Fred Keetch asks everyone to be careful of grass fires on their lots. It's easier to not start them than to put them out. |
