Nothing was left standing except a big chimney and a small portion of the north wall. Ray Benson of Benson Auto Company was awakened when light reflected into his bedroom window. At 3:10 am, he pulled in Box 16. The Department was quickly on the scene and Chief Colby sent in a second alarm calling out the Steamer Company, but the fire had made such headway it was impossible to enter the church building. The belfry withstood the fire for an unusually long time before it toppled over, landing spire down on the ground. " More interesting I also read " Department was to see its first full time Fire Chief in 1933. Edgar Wheeler, a long time fireman had been appointed driver in 1929. He replaced Call Chief Harry Colby, who had served since 1908. Chief Colby had entered Engine Company No. 1 in 1883 and served a total of 49 years. ============================= Colby list archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/COLBY/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to COLBY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
