Scrubs With Gasoline; Firemen Get an Alarm Winnetka firemen were called out on three alarms during the past week, none of which resulted in very serious fires. A blaze was started in the gar- age at the Robert IL. Greenlee home, 558 Sheridan road, Tuesday morning when Christian Roske, the chauffeur, attempted to wash the floor with gas- oline. He was burned about the face and arms while trying vainly to ex- tinguish the blaze but his injuries were said not to be serious. The damage was slight. Tuesday afternoon a delivery truck belonging to Rapp Brothers caught fire at Church road and Forest avenue. The cause was an overheated exhaust pipe, the firemen said. The fire was extinguished with small loss. Louis J. Kohnweiler, 416 Maple avenue, call- ed the fire department to his home late Wednesday night when he return- ed to find the house full of steam. The cause was an overheated hot wa- ter plant but no damage resulted.
