Middle Spring Home Burns
On July 23, 1949 in the morning hours firemen responded to a fire at the Ambrose Leedy residence in Middle Spring (beside the Grange Hall). A defective oil stove sparked a blaze that damaged two kitchens in the home before being controlled by firemen. Damages were estimated at $750. The Vigilant Hose Company answered the alarm. Firemen also responded to a well-involved barn fire on the Pinola Road during the day, but that post is for another year.

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.
Just sitting back thinking, in 1949 what apparatus would have responded to this call?
