Dreadnaught Fire Station Burns in Early Morning Blaze
A morning fire destroyed the Dreadnaught Fire Station on Church Street with only the ladder truck, a rainage set, and the four wheel hose carriage saved. Firefighters battled poor water pressure and shifting flames, saving adjacent buildings including L L Anderstrom’s photographic studio.
