called tbe fire department an.d summoned help from the neighbors.
The fire department rural truck 'responded to the call at once, buf-nipon
arriving at the scene of the fire, the
firemen were unable to find sufficient
Avater supply for the pumper, and the
neighbors brought water in milk cans
on a stone boat drawn by a tractor
from a well near the farm house, that
was equipped with an electric pump,
to furnish water for the booster tank
on the fire truck and the firemen did a
splendid job of saving the buildings
with the use of chemical hose.
While the large poultry house that
was saved was only about six feet
from one of the buildings that burned;
a straw stack burned only ten or
twelve feet from one of the large
barns and only through the efficient
work of the firemen and splendid, cooperation of the neighbors, were tbe-
larger and newer buildings of .the
