5 COMPANIES BATTLE BLAZE (Continued from page one) the small fire was blown through- out the structure, When the fire gong at the school sounded, teachers” throughout the bullding organized their classes for a fire drill and the building was emptied in approximately one and A hall minutes—the usual time for vacating the structure in fire drills, Pupils and teachers alike believed that the alarm was nothing more serious than a drill, and the pres ence of smoke in the rooms caused no fear since occasionally smoke from the boller room found its way through the ventilating system. Coats, hats, jackets, books and valuables In lockers assigned to each pupil were left intact, and gs a result most students lost at least some of thelr possessions. Meanwhile the Logan Fire Com- pany had arrived on the scene, and members wearing gas masks had entered the smoke-filled basement and sub-basement to fight the fire in the fan room. In a few minutes no flames could be seen and it was generally believed that the fire was | control, Then came the most amazing fea« ture of the morning. During the small blaze smoke had poured from the two large metal ventilators on top of the school building, but this was expected for it was through the ventilators that all stale air in the building escaped outdoors. With startling suddenness there was under ventilator and the roof was on fire. It almost seemed as though there had been an explosion, although ere was no report. In a matter econds, the fire spread along the top of the roof, and the building's fate was scaled. Fire Siren Fails When school officials first the telephone exchange to the fire siren sounded, a rd operator closed the switch which Is supposed to sound the iren atop the Centre County jail building. Nothing happened. Some- got. word to the Logan Com- pagy they immediately went to the but with the siren out f operation there was no way to unmon members of the Undine Company from their usual jobs to answer the call Consequently the Undines did not arrive at the scene until after the fire had jumped from the fan room to the roof. The marked absence of spectators al. the scene for the first half hour after the fire was discovered is at- tributed to the fact that since the sivent did not sound those who heard of the blaze believed it to be of no consequence. Firemen were faced with one of the most difficult tasks in recent years. They had at first prepared to battle & blaze in the sub-basement and were suddenly called upon to direct their attention to the top of the building. within a few minutes’ time both local companies had every available foot of hose in service—approxi- mately 3000 feet in. all. But. be- cause the fire extended fhie entire length and breadth of the roof, and hecause the flames were so vast, the many streams of water were of Ht. tie effect. State College, Milesburg and Pleasant Gap fire companies called, and all arrived in a re- markably short time ol have switch boa one nd cene, wv worse infetiio in Lime fo save buildimg. Firemen to wage ihe entirely we outside impoe=ible to tne r h battle it being the building burming embers ware wind con- and a heavy around the AEN ana vept along by the for iclerable pall of area, distances, anoke hung parti- sparks un at times. As floors and tions caved in, showers of were thrown skyward. The fire on the roof broke out about 8:15 o'clock and by 10 o'clock the upper two floors were gone and fire involved the rest ofthe build- | ing. By 11 o'clock the blaze was un- | der control, but all that remained of the four substantial stone and brick walls. The inside, which apparently had been little more than a tinder box, was gutted out from the groutid floor up. Debris filled the lower main hall, basement and sub- basement. Scarcely a whole window was to be found anywhere in the building. A small portion of the upper south wall, twisted out by the heat, crashed on the terrace be- low, while other walls threatened to destroy themselves in the same manner. Fire police stretched fire lines around dangerous areas during the blaze, and the section of Lamb street between Allegheny and Spring! fx Stil roped off bécanse of the danger of falling walls. Al no time were any other build ings In the area in immediate dan- ror, although the Neat was quite intense at the Episcopal rectory on West Lamb street. The manage- ment of the Brockerhoff Hotel sent an gallons of coffee out school for firemen, while the ladies of the Episcopal and Lutherah churches served coffee and sand- wiches, preparing the food in the social rooms. After the pupils had been march- ed from the school building teach- ers were stationed at every en- trance to prevent any attempting fo return to get thelr possessions. t of them, clad for indoors, went home for outer gar ments, while Classes in the armory building and in the Dale building were dismissed for the day. Bell Exchange Rushed Upon being notified that the high school building was on fire, Jesse H. Caum, local Bell Telephone Company manager every available operator on duty. In a few moments 18 operators were at the switchboards, handling an un- precedented rush of frantic calls. al burst of flame around the southern | called | bat even with blotting out the light of the | the ofice proud structure were to the’ the extra operators were on duty it was almost impossible to make a telephone call until the rush sub- sided. Origin a Mystery The origin of Monday's fire re- mains in doubt, although it Is gen~ erally belleved the fan room fire was caused by a short circuit in the electrical system, One school em- ploye reported that shortly after {the small blaze was discovered the electric service was interrupted. Some contend that gas from the small fire might have collected un« der the roof and ignited, causing the main blaze. Most Records Saved | | After pupils had left the build- | ling, school officials aided by a few | students removed from the super- | vising principal's office a number of filing cabinets and other records. These were carried to the Dale building across Allegheny street, Most of the older school records {were kept in a large fire-proof safe, which because of its weight could not be taken from the building. The safe was closed and no fear Is felt for its contents, Mr. Stock reported that all the vital school records had been preserved The commercial department of the high school had recently been {equipped with a number of new typewriters Firemen, combing through the debris Monday after- noon, came upon some of the type- writers on the ground floor. They were melted into twisted balls of metal, some parts being welded to- gether by the heat. Industrial Firemen Aid When it became apparent that the blaze was of extra-ordinary size, local industrial plants were asked ‘to send their plant firemen, Fire fighting groups from the Titan | Metal Company, the American Lime jand Stone Company and the Fed- {eral Match Company were soon on ithe scene battling the flames with volunteer firemen. No One Injured thousand cl for fa- lities remarkable that not tudent, teacher, fireman, or any- ne connected with the , mormning’s events sustained even so much as ia minor injury, according to infor- mation available. There were times during the fire when it was feared that one teacher or another might have been trapped in the building, because he had not been seen, but in every case the teacher was lo- cated within a few minutes among the crowd Also worthy a RANCOS With a of comment is the fact that considering the size of {the fire, the crowd of spectators was unusually small. Many a flue fire, properly “advertised” draws early as big a crowd as Wig pres- ent Monday morning. Most people just didn't fake the thing seriously because a general alarm had not been sounded The building had five floors: the sub-basement where the fire orig- inated; the basement, containing toilet facilities, the cafeteria, the home economics department and i classrooms: the ground floor, con- taining administrative offices, five grade school classrooms and several h school classrooms; the second as ; “containing tHe auditorium and high school classrooms, and the third floor, containing the chem- istry and physics laboratory and a men teachers’ reading room The building was an odd mixture g and fire hazards, I'he exterior walls were fireproof.

With the building, the local schools were seriously overcrowded and plans have beens under way for some time for the construction of a new build- 1g to provide more room. Without he building the situation is acute.

The statements of witnesses were taken by Miss Christine Smith, who will { transcribe them into a permanent | record One of the chief outcomes of the [Inquiry were four recommendations by the Pire Department, They are: 1. That the siren and the bells lat each firehouse be tested at noon every day instead of on Saturday only as is now the case 2. That in all cases of fires In public buildings or in buildings In the business district, a general alarm should be turned in at once even though it is not definitely known there is a fire. A suspicion of fire is sufficient reason for an (alarm. Still alarms should be ree served only for small fires In small homes in the outlying areag of the borough. 3. That each resident of the bor- ough should acquaint himself with the following procedure in case of fire: First, sée that everyone is out of the threatened building; second, turn in an alarm; and third, try to control the {lames until the arrival of firemen 4. That turning in everyone: from a telephone that the call is one. Speak slowly and distinctly Give your name and sddress, and then tell the operator where the fire giving exact location The Fire Department further re- commends that the alarm system be modernized-—-or at least improved to the point where it can be de- pended upon The first witness to testify at the inquiry was James Wilson, a Jjani- tor. He declared left the fan room about 8:50 o'clock to go Ww the office for supplies and that at that time there was no fire in the room. Upon leaving the office, he sald he saw smoke coming from a ventilator and he rushed at once to the fan room where he found the cefling-—-consisting of a kind of fire-resisting wallboard, on fire About that time Mr. Stock came down to the room and W said he told Mr. Stock to call the [ire department. Mr. Stock called Wallace J. Ward upstairs, and structed him to sound the alarm Wilson and Stock then the blaze with a small hose [eo Sholl was working with extinguisher at the time, Sholl declared a few min- utes before 9 o'clock a boy came downstairs and said smoke was coming through the ventilators Sholl said he went to the, fan room and found the ceiling ablaze. He emptied two S-gallon fire extin- guishers and drove the blaze to the other side of the room, after first ‘shutting off the motor which oper- ated the fan. It was explained that because the fan was a rather pon- derous affair, built on the order of a water-wheel, and because re- olved at a speed of about 2200 per minute, it coasted minuies after the power off.

It's another fire drill!” Jesse H. Caum. manager of the Pell Telephone Company, testified that the exchange received word to sound the alarm either just before or just after 9 o'clock.
