Fire in the home of Bill Burbine at the corner of the 10th concession of Huron Township and Highway 21, across the road from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Elliott, was the cause of the sounding of the Ripley fire siren before seven thirty last Wednesday morning, Aug- ust 30, This resulted in the hurried scramble to the Ripley Huron Fireball and in a short time the fire engine and tanker truck were on their Way to the scene - one block north of Pine River store.
