Fire Damages Fire men's Headquarters. A bad firo broke out shortly before 10 o'clock Wednesday evening in the back rooms over the Ilinmnn garage in tho rooms occupied by the firemen. The bnck roein where tho firemen's trnp door is located was practically gutted by tho finmes. All the rooms abovo the garage were more or lees damaged by smoke and the fire spread some into ono of the other bnck rooms. Just how tho firo was started is not known and some contend that it started from defective electric wiring, but in dications would bIiow that it started in the bed in tho room. The bed wasjfirst to burn and all tho bed clothes and slats were burned. It is also reported that some of tho men were in tho rooms a few minutes before the fire was discovered and and thut they wore lying on the bed smoking. The room was in flames be fore tho fire wuh discovered nnd one of tho men in the garage smelled the burning wood and turned in the alarm. The department was called at once and attempted to go up the front stairs and apply the chemicals but were unable to do so on account of tho smoke. Water was then turned on the flamos both from the front and tho rear, some of tho men fighting from the roof of the back room of the garage. A large crowd gathered to watch the firo and from the amount of smoke it was thought to be much more dangerous fire that it proved out to be. Tho need of a paid regular fire depart ment is strongly emphasized in this. That a firo can start and get under headway enough to cause so much dam age in tec very rooms occupied by the firemen is a deplorable fact. A regular department would bo much more care ful and guard against fire in their own rooms, as well as bo on tho job in case a firo broke out. Then too, they would be trained to fight tho flames and would be able to work more systematically.
