Michigamme, Auge 22 = The roof of the South Shore tank house
was destroyed by fire Monday afternoon and but for the timely
assistance of the fire department the fine brick roundhouse and
tank would have gone. Both were on fire. Five minutes after
the alarm of the locomotive, water was doing effective work and
within twenty minutes no fire was to be seen. The fire had been
smoldering for some time. It was probably tarted by a spark
from an engine. The fire company did splendid work as usual and
Mr. Dolf the agent wishes to thank them for their prompt response
to the alarm.
