大天堂的大行李箱铁路码头大火
未知来源的火,2至3点之间。米,最近在密歇根州格兰德黑文(Grand Haven),在属于大行李箱铁路的河流沿岸的五万美元的物业附近被摧毁,其中包括仓库300英尺的滑道码头的谷物电梯,称为马尼托瓦克棚,并损坏了汽车渡轮密尔沃基。睡在电梯里的流浪汉应该开始大火。当部门到达时,除了驶入货运之家之外,别无他法。风反对这样的举动。南部三溪轻微微风很快就检查了危险的机会。部门到达时,电梯和300英尺的仓库正在燃烧。消防员到达现场后的两个多小时,南端的棚子并不完全存在危险。酋长安东尼·皮珀尔(Antonie Pippel)指示他的士兵们以救济顺序工作。 The intense heat and need for hard, consistent labor, taxed the firemen severely. Grand Haven’s long continued freedom from heavy fire loss was at last broken. With this fire, the two occasions of marine losses by fire on Grand River within the last month will entail over a quarter million dollars. The burning of the steamer Manistee is included in this estimate. In 1885 the water front was swept by fire on both sides of Washington street. The fire covered territory 75 by 300 feet. The buildings were of wood. The fire started at 2.30 a. m., and burned five hours. Two hose companies with 5 7/8-inch streams from four hydrants were in service. The water pressure was 100 pounds. The loss was about $35,000.
