Garage Fire Perils Exposures
Fire that rapidly swept through an auto agency garage and destroyed an adjacent house in Sharon, Pa., was brought under control with two aerial streams and a deluge set. Five neighboring communities sent apparatus to assist the Sharon Fire Department in fighting the fire that caused a loss estimated at about $500,000.
As Captain John Reiter and five men, the entire crew at the Central Station, responded with two engines and an aerial ladder on the alarm at 6:53 p.m. last July 20, they could see flames rising from DeForeest’s BuickCadillac Company at 72 South Main Avenue. At this sight, Reiter immediately ordered all off-duty fire fighters recalled.
