Rural Pumper Responds To Greenvillage

On April 27, 1932 at 5:15 p.m. the rural pumper was summoned to Greenvillage for a house fire. The fire originated in the cellar near the electrical switch box. Before firemen arrived the men of Greenvillage had formed a bucket brigade to battle the blaze. The flames extended up into the walls by the time the fire apparatus had arrived. Firemen used their booster tanks and chemical lines to fight the fire. Damages were estimated at $1,000. The Vigilant Hose Company operated at the scene long with the C.V.’s of Chambersburg.
