Murray has had two expensive fires during the past few years and adequate fire protection might have prevented the large loss.

Without a j ladder on which to ascend the house and a bucket brigade, by tearing off a portion of the roof the fire might have been extinguished. Albert Young, in the absence of a ladder, scaled the house by climbing the lightning rod, but there was no means of getting water to him after he reached the roof.
