On this day October 11

October 11, 1942 shortly before 9:00 p.m. a fire of undetermined origin completely destroyed a barn and a car on the property Landis Smith 435 East King Street. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose Companies answered the alarm, but the fire had gained considerable headway before there arrival. Flames were visible over much of the town. The C.V.'s would have answered the alarm with their 1937 Ward LaFrance shown here at the PPP in July 2006.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
