LIVINGSTON'S 75-79 BROCK STREET "If Off Your Route It Pays To Walk" =1 FIRE E DOES DAMAGE | T0 EDWARDS' GARAGE Fire Brigade Did Great Work And The Loss Will Be Only $6,000. | Fire, which broke out on the sec- | ond floor of the building on Mont- real street, between Queen and Princess, occupied by E. B. Ed- Nwards as a garage and owned by R. N. F. McFarlane, caused $6,000 or | more in damage to the building and destroyed five cars and 'a large quantity of expensive machinery and | equipment on Sunday morning. | Stewart Patterson, taxi driver, | was towing in his car, which had | suffered a broken axle. He stopped {in front of the Edwards garage and | with a companion|examined his own | car and the truck hauling it in, as | both smelt smoke. No trace of fire | was found around the cars and, hav- | ing a key for the premises, Mr. Pat- terson went into the garage build- | and found it filled wiih smoke. | [He searched the building but coul 1d find no blaze and made his way out to summon the fire department. As {he left the building flames sho! out la window facing across a lancway | to Marshall's hardware and a few | seconds later ar oil tank inside ex-| | ploded. | The call went in to the fire sta- {tions at 3.15 a.m. and both sections | were soon at work. The low-ceiling| | wooden building soaked with oil] [and grease, was a mass of flames jand in spite of the blazing oil which | covered the stairway and line of | hose was run up it. Other lines were | sent up the ladders and through the { windows and the battle was on. The | {heat was so intense that the blaze | cracked windows in Marshall's | hardware store and the Sons of Eng- | land hall and the flames jumped to | the cornices of that building. Fire- | | men smashed their way to the at-| |tic of the corner building and pre- | | vented a spread of the destroyer {and in a comparatively short time | the whole conflagration was under control. How the firemen worked | pb in the cramped spaces, surrounded | by smoke and blazing wooden walls land rafters, and on the metal roof which was so hot that the metal Joints melted anc ran like water, is | hard to understand. | R. N. F. McFarlane, owner of the building, said that he had nev-| er seen any fire brigade, anywhere, do such fine work. Low-roofed buildings with highly inflammable | shingles, border the garage build- ing at the rear and it is closely hemmed in by other buildings of none too modern design. Had it] not been for the quick action of | Stewart Patterson and the splen-| did work of the brigade, a whole business block' would have been threatened.

Large quantities of expen- sive tools and equinment, oils and accessories were destroyed and the elevator badly damaged. The stairs were burned to ruins. The cause of the fire is thought to have been spontaneous combus- | {tion from oily rags. A stove-had | been stored under the stairs on the | second floor and some oily rags left in it, and as the progress of the | blaze clearly originated from there | it is taken as the logical cause. | Only people from the immediate | | vintuity of the building were specta- | tors on account of the hour but all | {are high in their praises of the work | lof the fire fighters.
