This message is for Gloria England, or anyone else who would like to find out more information about the Mobile fire of 1919. I email with a retired fire chief in Mobile, and he is an expert about historical fire department information in Mobile. I emailed him with this post to the list and he gave me permission to give you his email address. If you will email me privately, I will pass it along to you.
