Fire Destroys Corner Drug Store and Damages City Grocery
Firefighters battled a severe blaze in Sonora with a 120 foot water plume from the mountain Water Plant aiding efforts. The Corner Drug Store across Main Street from the Commercial Hotel, recently sold to Marlon Stokes, was the ignition site. The City Grocery, owned by George Hamilton, also suffered partial loss as flames spread east with a southwest wind. Fire Chief Cal Gry credited Sonora’s unique water system and windmill pumps for stabilizing the fire by daylight.
