T MONDAY, OCTOBER 11.' 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN It Happened This Way In New Pine Creek Bf IRVIN FARIS - W-h-i-r-r-e-e-ee! sounded the lire siren someone pounded frantical ly at our Irani door. When we bounded out ot bed the living room was a lurid, tuckering red as evil light danced in through the widows. Our own building was on lire! Oh no it Just can't be I But it was! ; Donning pants I ran tilled two buckets ol water that were never used. "Keys car keys where are your keys?" someone shouted. "Let's move your cars so ' they won't blow up!" The ire truck had Just pulled up and everybody was on the move. I moved the car, then ran for the pump house. Thank Heaven! lor the pump-house the long hose . ready there the pressure-pump ' that worked. I dragged out about a hundred leet of garden hose and ran with It to the garage Just four feet from the burning building.' - The Good Lord and the NPC fire department were with us! God bless those men! God bless the pu mice brick and the Johns Manville asbestos white-top roofing. With out them we would have been home less and storeless once again with the roof burned off our building. Oh what a terribly empty feel- , ing that was! As though one's whole life bad all been in vain. , Fiendish flames were leaping wick edly in from the frame shanty that stood Just west of our pumice building. Fiery demons became a reality! Hapidly they grew lick ing in through the unfinished open gable end of the double ga rage, used for wood and storage. They bit fast into the sheeting along the under side of the roof until it was a burst of flame clear across the width of the buildings end, burning back for three feet Just above the wood. T'was then the truck ran out of water. I stood there playing on water from the garden hose almost hysterical with excitement and fright. The hose proved a timely life saver while the men on the truck went for an other tank of water. The Willow Ranch fire truck driv erPaul Robinson was notified by Buster Cundiff who dashed at a hurried speed in his car for the six mile run down to the WR lire station. When it arrived the fire which could have been so very de structive, was finally subdued. The little building a hang-over from our fire in '49 was at one time used by the Mt. Lily Cream ery of Alturas as their milk test ing quarters here at the state line. Now it was in ashes but our build ing was saved.

We are ex tremely grateful to all who came to our timely assistance. And we are proud of our firemen and our equipment. If you haven't made your donation to clear up the $6UU accumulation of bills on the new fire hall now 13 the time to do it. Xov may be next to sutler great loss and damage. The fire has also demonstrated the great need of a water tanker us the next most im portant factor of equipment for community protection. We must all work together to obtain, this need ed equipment. Ours was not the only excite ment that has come to our peace ful village this last weekend. Early last Saturday morning some time between 2 and. 3 o'clock, presum ably, Alvin's Market was broken into and an attempt was made to cut open his safe with a blow torch. Hypothetlcally this is what happened! The would-be robbers gained entrance to the Butler store by cutting or breaking the lock off the front door. Then they entered and opened the rear door. Through this they apparently brought in the acetylene torch which they had stolen from Joe Ayoutt's garage. They were working at the safe in the office at the rear of the build ing about the time that'Alvin got up and was stirring about prepara tory to going buck hunting which he later did. But he did not dream of his place being burglarized as he kept a light burning in his store ever since his place was burglar lzed about lour months or so ago, He did not learn of the attempted robbery until be was notified by a messenger who went for him up in the mountains. Nor did he rea lize that his stirring around that morning had probably frightened the burglars away. The culprits also tore the front off of one of the drawers to his cash register but nothing of value Happened to be in that drawer Nothing was stolen in the store un less it' was a few packages or a carton of cigarettes according to wig H'GBcub Eaiuuftw ui tiie uwuers.
