Fire, catching from the chimney flue, completely gutted the upper floor of the residence of Colon Allred on Second Buffalo Street this morning at a few minutes after 10 o’clock. Prompt and efficient work by the local fire department prevented the flames from destroying the entire structure.
Practically all of the furnishings and personal property were rescued from the downstairs rooms, but that in the upper portions of the house could not be reached because of the rapid spread of the flames.
No one was hurt and the fire was under control 15 minutes after the alarm was turned in.
