Fire at Siegel Auto Battery Plant Hints Serious Fume Exposure
Flames and fumes from a Siegel Auto Supply and Siegel Battery building on Commercial Street caused sulfuric acid inhalation among firemen. Chief Tiller ordered special treatment and milk antidotes after 29 carbays of acid ruptured, with 1,500 dollars in damage. Three Hardin Firemen led the response and suffered fumes exposure while Lieut. Pett injured fingers in the hose line setup. The blaze, confined to the second floor, drew delays and spottings from rear windows as crews fought the flames.
