New West High Fire Alarm Highlights Building Blaze

No damage to the building itself but about 100 tons of material lost. Three other alarms followed including a small roof fire at 311 Wellington street and a blaze at 516 Park avenue east. A smoky furnace at Lakeview Bill Establishment prompted investigation with minimal damage. Chief Tilfer urged accurate chimney alarm reporting to reduce response costs.
