Fire Destroys Garage And Car

On May 6, 1943 at 4:15 p.m. an alarm of fire was sounded for Seneca Street and Jones Alley (rear of West King Street). Firemen arrived to find a three-car garage and car involved in flames. The extremely dense smoke hampered firefighting efforts. Firemen had the blaze under control quickly but not before it destroyed the car and badly damaged the garage. Damages were estimated at $1,500, a cause was not listed. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the call.
