Article: RUTLAND, VT. Fire Department Gets Three Calls During Week-End. Boiling Tar, Stopped Chimneys and Blazing Auto Radiator Alcohol Are Causes. The firemen answered three calls over the week-end. Smoke, issuing from a pot of boiling tar and from a clogged chimney, were responsible for two of them, while the other resulted from the ignition of alcohol beneath the hood of an automobile. The anti-freeze solution which had boiled out of a radiator of an automobile and flared up when it came in contact with the engine block was the origin of the first summons at 7:30 o'clock Saturday morning to the corner of Strongs avenue and Wales street. The inflammable liquid burned itself out, doing no damage, according to firemen, who said that the car is owned by Charles J. Dansreau of Franklin street. The second trip was to 79 North street at 2:15 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The firefighters were called by neighbors of Irving H. Baker, who became alarmed when they noticed a cloud of black smoke rolling out of the open door in a shed at the rear of the residence. Investigation disclosed that tar, to be used in repairing the roof of the structure, was the source of the dense smoke. It being heated in a container atop a small stove. A maladjusted damper in a chimney at the home of Robert C. Boynton on Grove street, which caused smoke to pour into the house through the fireplace opening, resulted in a call being made to the fire station early last night. The men corrected the position of the damper, allowing the smoke to resume its normal course through the flue. Little damage was done. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
