| March 28, 1940, 6 Families Homeless In $10,000 Blaze (Continued from Page 1) The Pleasant Gap Pire Company soon Arrived on the scene, and when it became apparent that further aid was needed, the Bellefonte Fire Dee partment was asked for help. The Logan pumper and members of both Undine and Logan companies ree sponded immediately, and at the height of the blaze it was estimated that approximately 100 firemen were in service. Firemen and spectators cooperated in removing furniture from the apartment building. Two of the apartments were almost completely rulned while the other four were badly gutted by flames and further damaged by water and smoke Mr. Jodon. owner of the property, had left early last week for Minne- sota to purchase a carload of horses and up until last night had not re- turned home. He has not been in- formed of the fire. From the storage room in the cen- ter of the barn. the fire spread with great rapidity to both ends. Among the articles in the barn which were lost were a number of bales of hay, some tools, complete stable equip- ment and a quantity of valuable lumber which was salvaged from old school buildings The barn and the apartment were wired for electricity. and some per- sons believe a short circuit might have caused the blaze. All that re- mained of the barn building, Mon- day were a few charred timbers, some hay, and metal plumbing fix- tures. There was no livestock in the structure at the time of the fire The end of the apartment build- ing which adjoined the barn exposed the interior of one entire apart- ment. Pire, smoke and water had gone through this building, which was Jess than a year old Because of the size and nature of the construction of the two bulld- {Ings firemen were greatly handicap- ped In their efforts because of the | strong draughts inside the struc- tures. Intense smoke and heat also added to the difficulties of firemen, who remained on duty all during the afternoon and until about 8 o'clock | Sunday night to prevent a possible | outbreak of fire from the smoulder- Ing remains. The first ald team of the Pleasant Gap fire company was on the scene functioning as a separate unit, and | during the course of the fire about ten firemen were treated for cuts resulting from broken glass, Decision on possible repairs to the apartment building will not be made until Mr. Jodon's return home, probably late this week. The barn was well known to hun- dreds of Centre county farmers, for during the past several years it has been the seene of many livestock auctions conducted by Mr. Jodon. Sunday's fire was the worst one Pleasant Gap has experienced since the burning of the Henry Noll air- plane hangar about seven vears ago Last vear the Jodon residence at Pleasant Gap suffered heavy smoke damage from a small fire in the basement mn mms. + QF ———— Car Forced Inte Ditch A car driven by Taylor Confer, of Bellefonte, was forced into a ditch after striking a huge tractor-traller truck about a half mile west of Martha Furnace on Route 220 at 4:45 o'clock Monday afternoon Damage to the car was estimated at $8.
