Bird Perishes In Fire

On December 10, 1933 at shortly after noon firemen responded to a house fire on East Orange Street after several women walking past the residents spotted smoke coming from the house. Firemen arrived to find the sofa on fire already extending to the walls and ceiling. A line was laid but the blaze was quickly control with a chemical line. A family canary perished in the blaze. Damages were estimated at several hundred dollars. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies answered the alarm.

Below is some of West End Fire and Rescue Company's letterhead over the years.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
