Fire last night at 60 Vimy Road, caused by overheated pipes, did about five dollars damage when woodwork, to which the pipes were too ‘ciose, was scorched. Firemen used chemicals to extinguish the blaze. Monday evening, the one chosen for the annual firemen‘s banquet, was the busiest one they‘ve had at the fire hall for some time. None of the fires were serious. but calls came in close together so as to keep the department on the run. At 3.35, $35 damage was done at 26 Rea street south when overheated pipes that had been run through a wooden partition without protection of any kind set the woodwork afire. Chemicals were used to douse the flames. At 5.20 there was a chimney fire at 48 First avenue; at 5.30 the same ATQ@e LC 40 EL reason was dleton aven in~ for> a.
