Short Circuit The
Cause of a $1,200
Fire At Anchor
Fire blamed on a short circuit
caused damage estimated at $1,200
early Tuesday morning to a two-
story frame apartment owned by
Paul Mumma, Anchor, on the old
Rheems road.
Chief Paul Shiffer, of Friendship
Fire Co., E-town, whose company
wag called at 12:55 a. m. said the
fire spread beneath the clap-
board covering the building and
burned into the partition separat-
ing the first and second floors.
Wilbur Koser, tenant of the second
floor apartment, smelled smoke,
and with Mumma, discovered that
the fire had hroken through the
clapbrards on the exterior of the
building.
Koser and Mummy dashed buck-
ets of water on the clapboard un-
til firemen arrived. The fire in
the partition between the floors
was extinguished by use of a
high pressure fog hose thrust into
a hole that had been burned open.
Shiffer, who estimated the dam-
age at $1,200 said the building was
fully covered by insurance.
