Fire Chief Performs Whirling Auto Stunt on Commercial Street
Ashley A L Dunham, Waterloo fire chief, spins a complete circle in a car within a forty foot street width at 1 20 am en route to a fire at Waterloo Gasoline Engine Works. He avoids a car stand and curbs, then proceeds toward his destination. He cannot explain the maneuver, saying the trick is fine as long as the vehicle stays upright and avoids collision. Earlier this year he similarly circled on the Fifth Street Bridge, completing four rings before stopping, narrowly missing curbs and ending across the bridge.
