When the firemen arrived the up- per store room was an inferno. They broke open the windows on thesouth side and entered the building from the roof of Reavie's Service Station and with two streams of water con- fined the fire to the store room back of the creamery. The store room was badly seared, the beams and floor being badly burn- ed. The machinery in the creamery and the refrigerator were not dam- aged and work was going on as usual after the blaze had been extinguish- ed. The office floor at the front of the building was flooded with water that ran down the front stairs from the upper room. There was a quan- tity of egg cases and other articles stored up stairs that were spoiled. The damage is estimated at $2000 and is covered by insurance.
