Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1914 — Yesterday Morning’s Fire Call. [ARTICLE]

Yesterday Morning’s Fire Call.

The fire company was called out at about 6 o’clock yesterday morning by a small blaze in the roof of J. F. Hardman’s residence on Cullen street, caused by a spark from the chimney setting fire to the roof and burning a hole perhaps eighteen inches square before it was put .out. Mr. Hardman had thrown some kindlings in the furnace, the fire being rather low, and a brand from these was sucked up the large chimney and fell on the roof. The damage was very slight.
