Fire disrupts Main and Academy house blaze
A house owned by Apostle Cowley on Main and Academy streets caught fire last Tuesday around noon. Flames started in an upstairs room, bucket brigades formed, and a pump finally worked, aiding firefighters who battled the blaze. Water shortage threatened progress until Nelson redirected a full stream from a distant ditch. The local fire brigade was praised for its brave efforts and calls were made for city-wide organization and better access to equipment.
