A fire alarm yesterday at about 7 p.m. was responded to by the volunteer fire company in quick order. The cause of the alarm was a blazing rubbish pile just behind the garage of L.A. Peal & Son. The flames were quickly extinguished and no apparent damage was done.
It seems that a number of our people have lost sight of the law regulating traffic during a fire, as a number of automobiles drove to the immediate vicinity of the fire while the alarm was being sounded and some arrived there in advance of the fire truck. Such conditions as this cause confusion, and citizens should be anxious to obey this law, inasmuch as disobeying it may some time cause possible destruction of life and property.
