Deal Fire Destroys Elberon Fishery Headquarters
A heavy blaze leveled the Elberon Fish Co headquarters and storage on Ocean avenue in Deal yesterday afternoon after 4 p m. The 50 by 60 foot frame structure burned rapidly as fishermen on shore watched and fire units from Dead Fire Company and Elberon Engine Company fought four water streams to save portions of the building, but the fire was too far advanced by the time crews arrived. The cook was the only person in the building and no injuries are reported. The blaze prompted a widespread alarm and the story continues on the fifth page.
