Fires Hit Hamburg Twice In Two Weeks In Thunder Storms
An old saying about fires in threes proved true as Hamburg faced two blazes over two days. L. R. Forsyth's home was struck by lightning during a Monday storm, starting a small fire extinguished by neighbor Farley Hill before the fire company arrived. Forsyth, in the basement, was knocked down by the shock and later found the electric switches burned. A four o'clock Tuesday morning blaze at the electric light powerhouse endangered the boiler room, fought by firemen with only minor losses. The Shenandoah plant reported a similar incident on Wednesday morning.
