Severe blaze guts Main street laundry in extreme cold
In near zero temperatures a major fire on East Main street gutted Charley Fong’s laundry, threatening adjacent frame structures. Firefighters battled the blaze with multiple streams of water, saving the Keppel building while the Paterson property was ruined. The two story structure and apartments were destroyed, with an estimated six thousand dollars in losses and no insurance. The blaze, caused by an overheated chiming perhaps, intensified as weather hampered efforts, and full control came around 10 PM.
