A blaze discovered this morning shortly after 8 o’clock in the rear of the Flint Rock Filling Station completely gutted the building and caused damage to the exterior.
Firemen answered the fire call but due to the fact that the station is located outside the city limits, it required some time to get a water line form a point near the Southern passenger station to the burning structure.
The fire spread rapidly in the building, there being a quantity of grease, oil and other inflammable material that burned like so much paper. The gasoline tanks were not exploded.
The filling station is leased by the Texas company is managed by Mr. Phillips.
