The fire was believed to have sta rte d from an overheated oil stove as it was first evident in th a t section of the house. Mrs. Akers was still at the Brookings H arbor-Pilot office and her daugh ter. Virginia, and son, Hugh, were in the adjoining cabin built for the son, Ronald, when the fire started . Virginia ran to Tisdales, a neighbors home, for help. L uther Tisdale drove to town and re- ported the fire. In a m a tte r of m inutes the fire tru ck was on the way. Mrs. Tisdale, the first person on the scene of the fire, broke a window' into the bedroom fur- therest aw ay from the fire and sta rte d to tak e out bedding and clothing. Had it not been for the fire departm ent the large spruce trees near the building would have caught fire and undoubtedly burned the garage and cabin which was nestled am ong the trees. W ater was pumped from the creek that crosses the Tisdale property and the large truck re turned to town for a refill. Ronald Akers, freshm an at O re gon S ta te College, who had been home for spring vacation, had re turn ed to Corvallis, leaving S un day afternoon. T he Brookings W eather Bu reau station is located on the A kers property, on the ocean off T anbark road.
