Mrs Grace C Rogers occupied the building housing a restaurant on the first floor and living quarters above, losing most restaurant equipment and household goods including a purse with 1100 dollars. The fire department lacked water after exhausting their booster tank, prompting a bucket brigade to save an adjacent coalhouse and contents.
