Fire damages Midland Rubber buildings in two-story blaze
An estimated loss occurred at the Midland Rubber company after a fire began in a two-story frame building at 727 Copeland Avenue just after noon Wednesday. The first alarm came at 12 25 p m when Sylvester Bess rushed to No 2 fire station as smoke appeared. The fire grew with a 3 11 alarm about 12 40 p m and lines were cut at 1 55 p m. The blaze gutted the Copeland Avenue structure, damaging a nearby warehouse and a 508 St Cloud Street building. Susanne Bess, eight, saw smoke from her father’s shop, while the La Fleur apartment above 508 St Cloud escaped more severe damage. Fire crews from No 1 No 2 and No 4 stations battled the flames with about 1 000 and 750 gallons per minute, and authorities pegged the cause on defective wiring.
