On May 31, 1922 at 9:00 a.m. firemen were summoned to the Ridge Road for a woodshed fire. The fire was discovered in a woodshed and help was quickly summoned from Shippensburg. Firemen arrived quickly and pumped two wells dry in an attempt to save the property. Despite their best efforts the house, woodshed, corn cribs, wagon shed and all other out buildings on the property were destroyed. The firemen were able to save the barn. A damage estimate was not available. The Cumberland Valley Hose Company answered the alarm. The photograph in today's post is of the Cumberland Valley Hose Company showing off their new uniforms in front of their station on May 31, 1915. I would like to be able to keep the photograph and caption together when they differ from the days post but if I put the picture any place but the top it will not do anything when you click on it.
