Grant. 32. of north Kingston, it's never too late for highway safety. His car fatly Sunday ripped down 40 feet of highway fence. uprooted several trees, and snapped off a utility pole. Mico police arrived. Grant was tending two fires, one at each end of his wrecked car to warn on coining cars. He was using the splintered lence to fuel the tires GIRLS' this if the library- $300,000 Fire Continued from Page 1) return to their stations at -J: 11 p m. Two firemen were injured, neith er seriously, by flying glass and falling debris. Lawrence Mitchell of the Klamath Falls department was struck by a ventilating hood that fell from its position over a cooking range in the cafe. He was lelled, unconscious, but revived soon and continued to fight fire. Raymond Meininger, a volunteer on the Suburban department, re ceived a cut hand from a glass splinter sent flying by one of the numerous small explosions as fire swept glass-packaged merchandise in the drug store. Firemen were endangered con stantly by long banks of fluor escent lights which crashed to the floor unpredictably during the at tic fire. Chief Roy Rowe of the city de partment spent most of this morn ing poking through the ruins to dis cover the fire's cause. He said preliminary investigation led him to believe the fire started in t h e dishwashing compartment in the rear of the cafe where electrical circuits were concentrated Fire apparently took hold on a wood, metal and brick wall and burned quickly into the attic. The cafe and drug store both were lodged in the Maguire Estate Building. Adjacent stores may have received some smoke dam age. .Chief Rowe said he would investigate today. He said he was pleased with the performance of a new fire engine recently purchased by the city. The big pumper powered four high pressure hose lines with a huge pumping capacity for a long pe nod of time. Rowe said he is unsure how many men responded to the fire or how many feet of hose were used Water was pumped from five hy drants. Hose probably measured from a half-mile to a mile in length.
