Last Friday morning about eleven, just as last week's blizzard was starting to get wound up to give Western Ontario an old fashioned snowstorm, the Ripley fire siren sounded, its wailings rising over the wind and across the area. Firemen available in Ripley rushed to the firehall and it was not very long till the truck, with its siren sounding -and red dome light flashing, driven by John D. MacKay, accompanied by Clarence Pollock and close behind the big red water tank truck driven by Donnie Peterbaugh, were headed north across the railway tracks and north on the fifteenth. Fortunately the Bruce County snow, plow with driver Delbert Hedley and wing- man, Kevin Murray, both of the Holyrood area, were both out on the fifteenth and had it cleared. The call was to the house on the east side at the top of the big hill on the fifteenth, just before coming to number 9 highway. Here an overheated Franklin stove had set the pipes and chimney on fire. Mrs. John ' Dahmer (the former Aria Smeltzer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Art Smeltzer of Huron Township) and her children were alone at home at the time and it was a frightening experience. The call fair help was first made to Kincardine, but it was referred to the Ripley-Huron Fire Department which responded, although it Was located almost two , miles outside their , district. Among the Ripley firemen responding were , Bob Johnston, George McLean, Ted Rouse, Harvey' Pollock, Don 'Peter- baugh, Clarence Pollock., * * * * * * Norman C.
