Salisbury Firemen Handle 2 Small Problems, Respond to 2 False Alarms, Dec. 26, 1922

City Firemen Answer False Fire Alarms

The firemen have had a rather busy time since Saturday morning, answering four or five alarms during that time, but none of these called for any stubborn fire fighting.

An alarm Saturday morning called them to East Kerr street where an oil stove was cutting up some antics; Sunday morning at 7:30 they were summoned to 128 West Lafayette street where a small blaze had started on a roof, but only slight damage resulted. Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock an alarm from box 72 North Main extension called them to that section but this proved to be a false alarm, and at 7:30 last night another false alarm came in from box 76, corner of Fulton and Franklin streets.
