Fire at Dahl Motora Erie causes $25,000 damage
A second story blaze at Dahl Motora Erie near the No 3 Engine House caused about 25000 in damage. Chief Peter Kuhn said actual building damage was small but water from sprinklers and hoses caused major loss. The fire started in the repair shop where a car owned by Dr Martman ignited after an electric bulb on an extension cord exploded igniting a gas tank. Flames reached the roof where seven new and used cars were stored.
