Hotel, the property of Albert
Verheye, just across the street from
where Chief Doug Liddle was
working. By this time the interior
was a raging inferno. Donnie
Fludder and storekeeper Lawri
James helped Doug get the first
fire hose connected. Mrs. Carol
Fludder got their car away from the
boulevard to park it down by the
Ripley Curling rink and got her
children, Tammy and Jason, out of
the house. Donnie was one of those
who helped Mrs. Ernie Pollock
from her home just 20 to 30 feet
north of the blazing hotel building.
Fran and myself were out at the
old homestead on the sixth - now
the Jerry Huber farm - lifting some
vegetables in our garden there.
We were alerted to some• strange
sound which turned out to be the
siren on the Lucknow Fire Chief's
car as it was passing , the Wes
Smyth place on the fifteenth, going
north to Ripley. Turning to look in
the direction of the village to the
northeast across the fields, there
was a huge pillar of black smoke
rising from the village centre and
extending hundreds of feet up and
drifting northward. Immediately
we got into the car and up the sixth.
We turned the corner at the top of
the sixth hill onto the pavement on
the fifteenth, clouds of smoke were
drifting across the road, so while
our fears for Ted Rouse's Ripley
Chopping and Feed Mill went down
fears for our own house rose. It
was only when we got to Mrs.
Grace Carruthers' Store corner we
could see it was the hotel.
People were lined along the
sidewalks. .The Lucknow Fire
Truck was across from Mrs.
Pollock's house. Around the south
side across from the Royal Bank
was the Kincardine Fire truck. then
the new Ripley -Huron tank 'truck
with its auxiliary engines and the
Ripley Fire truck was at the big
underground reservoirin Gore
Park.
Oh yes, we turned the main
corner and went east - parking our
car in front of our Malcolm Street
house, then on foot made our way
across ,the Ripley Telephone pole
yard, past Jack Treleaven's grain
elevator, across the railway tracks
and the north end of Gore. Park.
The smoke was rolling down the
'street 'north, driven in billows by
the south breeze, so thick that
there was no way of crossing the
road. Mrs. Pollock was safely
sitting in Mrs. Effie Sutherland's
car across the road from her home
and on the road shoulder of Gore
Park.
As soon as there was a clear spot
in the smoke, we came across the
road into our house and then into
the north half of it to see that
Donnie and Carol Fludder, Tammy
and Jason were out. Then witkall
doors closed, we went back across
to • Gore Park where groups of
people were standing watching and
groups of young people were
sitting on the grass in the niee
afternoon's sunshine.
At once it was apparent that the
Royal Hotel was doomed' - no
chance of getting the fire out. All
the chiefs and firemen had realized
this long before our arrival and had
"wetted down" the outside of
Mrs.. Pollock's house, our house
and Howard Hodge's garage which
was adjoining to the west end of the
hotel.
Thanks to the Scott Brothers, -
Frank and the late Joe- that when
they had the garage built they had
it made of concrete block construc-
tion right around and hence there
Was a fire wall between the hotel
and garage. Everyone was glad
when it became apparent Howard
Hodge's garage would be safe.
The only damage that resulted was
to the wall between am:ft° the roof.
At different times Lucknow
firemen, who were guarding the
north side, put out burning inSulat- -
ed wires andsmall flames around •
the, chimney of Mrs. Ernie Pol-
lock's house. A few of the Lucknow
men we noticed were Stuart
Collyer, Jack Treleaven, Sandy
Havens and Bud Hamilton. About
six 'o'clock Redvers. Johnson was .
standing at the road by his place,
just south; of the Ripley rink, when
Oliver Glenn, the man to whom
Redvers was talking, noticed the
roof on Mr. Johnson's barn starting
to burn.'There was a rush of
people and , a ' small hose was
connected up and Harvey Brooks of
concession 8 west was one of those
on the roof to spray thc burning
area of wooden shingles with,
water. , .
The Lucknow Fire Department
had their hose connected to the fire
hydrant at the corner of Ma. Icolm
Street, by Mrs. Elton Orr's house
and across from Redver's place.
As mentioned before the Ripley
Fire Truck was pumping from the
concrete underground resei
rvoir n
Gore Park. Tending the Ripley Fire
engine was 'former Ripley Deput
Fire Chief Francis Gemmel!. just
home from Toronto for the Thanks
giving week end. On the job
watching the hose was former chief
Gordon Scott. I think at one point
both Kincardine Fire Chief Bill
Griffith and Ripley Fire Chief Doug
Liddle were on Howard's garage
roof along with some of their men
to survey how to•prevent its break
through to the garage.
Betweeri seven -thirty and eight "
ladies •of the village passed out ,
coffee and sandwiches to - the •
firemen. Ripley •men ' including
Chief Doug Liddle guarded the fire
all night through the rip.- On
Saturday much of the de8ri was
taken away.
