Two Fires on Monday In Huntley Ignition and false alarm
The Huntley fire whistle blew at 2 30 p m and 4 p m last Monday May 29. Firemen answered the first alarm at the H D Catty Corp where the automatic sprinkler system triggered the alarm but investigators found no fire after ruling it a probable telephone worker misfire. A second blaze occurred at the old Beckett House next to the plastic factory when sparks from burning brush set a garage roof alight. Prompt arrival limited damage to a minimum.
