German Plane Shot Down by Swedish Antiâ€"Aireraft. ... Busiest day the firemen have exâ€" perienced for some time was last Tuesâ€" day when they answered cleven calls for chimney fires in less than two hours. First call came in at 12.02 and the last call was just before two o‘clock. The high wind at the time was blamed for the fires and damage was very litâ€" tle in any of the fires. At one time all the trucks in the fire hall were out at the same time. About two hours after that rush the firemen were again called out and, this time the fire was of a more serious naâ€" ture. iA fire had started in the roof of a house at 201 Pine street south, and firemen used 250 feet of hose and 36 feet of ladder to battle the blaze. The loss amounted to about $75. Last Thursday evening a house across the river burned to the ground but the firemen had no chance to save the building when they arrived. They concentrated on saving the adjoining buildings. 1230 feet of hose was used and the building was a complete loss with no insurance being carried. Firemen also were called out to exâ€" tinguish four grass and brush fires as well as two fires in motor cars.
