MIDNIGHT FIRE. I
Norwalk Firemen Have a Live-
ly Battle With a Burn-
ing Building. -
They Do Splendid Work and Save ‘Ad-
joining Property.
The nest of frame buildings fronting
in part on Knight street and extending
back to Brook street on the cast was
the scene, between 12 and 1 o’clock last]
night, of a fire that threatened to de-
vour therwhole nest. .
The blaze was first discovered by
Charles Payne who had been in at
. tendance at the Ladies’ Auxiliary ball
at Lockwood’s hall.
He gave the alarm and Officer Ken-
ney pulled box 15 which was responded
to by the fire department.
In the meantime the flames had gain-
ed much headway and the upper stories
of the entire plant on Brook street was
burning at a rapid pace.
The firemen soon had five lines of
hose laid and the buildings were del-
uged with water, and after a long and
hard fight the fire was brought to sub-
jection. . ‘
Never did our firemen W011i to better
advantage or more zealously, and man y
families and other tenants in adjoining
buildings can to this ascribe the fact _
that they were not burned out of house.
and home. I
It was 3 o’clock this morning when
Chief Prowitt gave orders for the de-
partment to return to their quarters.
The burned building was in the main
occupied by Sofio do Go. as a carpet
cleaning establishment and a. machine
shop. It is but a few months since'they
became in p0ssession of the same.
Other tenants of the burned build-
ings were Robert F. Adams who con-
ducted a sad iron factory. His loss 18
$200; no insurance. .
Sofio &. CO. had an insurance of $400
on their carpet cleaning establishment!
which in no wise commences to cover
the loss. '
Another Occupant of the building
was Thomas Gregory as a horse shear
ing establishment. He held an insur-
ance of $150.
The burned buildings belonged to
the S. E. Olmstead estate and to John
Cotter. There was about $500 insur-
ance on the same. .
It is believed that the fire originated
in a pile of sawdust under a flight of
stairs leading into the Gregory shOp.
There was a large amount of machin-
ery turbine wheels inthe burned build-
ings which is principally damaged by
water. _
This is the first fire to which the
department has been called out since
August 10th.
