Fire damaged the First National Bank building after 9 pm when smoke appeared from a third floor window and flames were found in Dr. R J Lamme’s dental lab on the second floor. Firemen extinguished the blaze using water from a laddered west wall entry. asbestos insulation helped limit damage. The origin is unclear though suspected near a steam radiator and work bench. Damaged floors and office spaces flood as Simons, Branson, Powers, and Johnston react. The structure, finished last spring, avoided total destruction.
