Garage Burns In Jacksonville
On April 14, 1924 at 7:45 p.m. firemen were summoned to the Walnut Bottom Road, Jacksonville for a building fire. A spark from a generator ignited a gas can that started a fire destroying a garage and its contents. Destroyed in the garage were four trucks, three new automobiles and two used automobiles. Help was soon summoned from Carlisle and Shippensburg. Firemen quickly drained the wells and cisterns and had to lay 1,400 feet of hose to a nearby stream. Before the blaze could be controlled it extended to a house. Damages were estimated at $25,000. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm. It was reported that the C.V.’s LaFrance made the run at 58 miles an hour.
