A group of men using an automobile triggered three false alarms within 55 minutes on the Fourth of July with boxes 612 on Washington Street, 26 at South and High, and 73 on York near Crescent.

Earlier on Tuesday there were three still alarms at Raymond Court, the old round house yard, and a renewed blaze at the same site in the Maine Central yard.
