Basement Damaged In Fire

On November 3, 1989 at 4:54 p.m. firefighters were sent to 860 Mount Pleasant Road for a house fire. A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a basement storage room in an occupied 2-½-story brick house. Firefighters from four companies had the blaze knocked down in five minutes. The entire home suffered heavy smoke damage. A damage estimate was not available. The West End Fire and Rescue Company assisted at the scene.

Wow. Hard to believe that the apparatus in this picture would be gone in replaced over the next 4 to 5 years.
