House Destroyed When Firemen Can’t Secure Water

On December 30 1876 at 3:00 p.m. the cry of fire was sounded for Prince and Orange Streets for a house fire. A defective flue started a fire in the attic of an occupied 2-½-story dwelling. When the fire department arrived the second floor and attic was ablaze. Due to the lack of water in the area the house was destroyed. The household goods were removed before the home was lost. Damages were estimated at over $700. The Vigilant and Cumberland Valley Fire Companies battled the blaze.

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.
