Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 25, 1924, p. 5. Fighting Flames For Six Hours Hard on Firemen The Bloomington firemen had the hardest job in their history last night, and fought the fire from 6 to 12 o'clock without rest. The new fire trucks and increased fire equipment saved many other buildings. The water works pump did not have sufficient power to pump the water through the hydrants as fast as the new trucks could pump it out. Fire Chief C. C. Strain was assisted by the following firemen: Ule Clark, H. B. Rogers, J. W. Tidd, D. S. Chestnut, R. C. Trisler, Rolla Crum, Homer White, R. H. Stevens, Wm. Smith. Constance T.
