Fire Strikes Gerrit Alons Farm Near Town
George Dickevers spotted heavy smoke from a brush fire at Gerrit Alons farm while en route to town. He found the stock tank heater started a small building and, with help from Herman Rohlfs farm and Boyden Fire Dept, prevented spreading damage to a wagon and adjacent building. About 40 bales were moved to pasture to cool the hot load as neighbors assisted. Alons were away from home, making Dickevers' quick action crucial.
